Love is the most potent human emotion - powerful enough to ignite the Trojan War, inspire Shakespeare’s timeless sonnets, and shape the great works of Jane Austin and Emily Brontë.
The best love stories have all been written by men. Men experience love in a way that can make or break nations. Women must begin to accept that passionate love that men have harnessed - by rejecting it, by negating it's power, you do a disservice to every man who has ever loved and lost, who has had to remake himself and his nation time and time again.
From Anatolia to India, from Ireland to Russia, men have sought to create lavish palaces for their women. From the humble woodman's cot to the great aristocratic estates - it's all been for the women we love.
We loved our women so much that when they asked we destroy everything just so they can feel equal, we did so. We are fools for this love.
Good article. Your explanation of The Great Gatsby helped me realize why I was so frustrated after reading it. I’d love to see you talk about passion in Romeo and Juliet someday.
in fine print: your vision of who someone is, is totally colored by a biased perception of what they are.
For example, women find attractive men funnier, but don’t find funny men more attractive.
But by choosing to not account for your bias, you get to be unaccountable for your choices.
A win-win! Except for everyone who loses, but they deserve it! For who they are!
