All of nature is less about equality as much as it is about balance.
There has always been that little voice, that little part of me that has felt that little bit inferior - that i deserve only to suffer and serve, to be hated, hurt and treated with contempt. Can't speak for anyone else, but for me that little voice has always been there.
Which probably explains why I seem to have a thing for Men with a sadistic and even a misogynistic streak that can trigger that feeling within.
