the book, it's excellent, of course, but ouch!, it is painful & really rough at times, yet, also very beautiful. her descriptions & means of expression are quite lovely. i hope & pray that this "apology truly freed her. it's abominable what was done to her! oh God, especially the descriptions of what her father did (thru his eyes, per Eve), to her. the pedophile thought train truly made me shudder & squirm, was SO uncomfortable & disgusting to me that man/any men, can think that way, about a innocent child! It makes me SOOO bloody angry! So angry! I want them all to be castrated. Not all men, all pedophiles & rapists & child "seducers" (see also: RAPE!) & it IS a choice! everything is a choice. it is their choice to allow themselves to go there! & once they do, forget it, all bets are off, they can justify anything in their minds & words from then on. that is why once 1 is caught, they need to be locked up & throw away the key. those desires & so called needs never go away. there is NO rehabilitation. at least, not from what i've ever read, heard, understood. besides that there are God knows only how many women/girls/boys/men that are forever destroyed or DEAD now because of these monsters who were LET OUT! for good behavior or some other asinine reason. again, men protecting men. especially white men!
no, i'm not a man hater. i DO consider myself a feminist, but i also LOVE MEN. but here we (I) are talking about pedophiles/rapists/soul murderers. not the general population of men, but think about all the men we DON'T know about or haven't known about, that have gotten away w/all of this & DO currently get away w/all of this. it's disgusting, reprehensible! This & guns, our 2 biggest problems in this world currently, diseases aside. Well, I consider the above diseases as well, of their own kind.
Back to Eve, i was only familiar w/the Vagina Monologues, thus far, as her other works go & that is amazing as well. what she has endured! what she has overcome & survived (make no mistake, it IS survival to the nth degree, to survive this. i was told by a dr, many years back, that when u are abused verbally, physically, mentally, whatever, ESPECIALLY by someone u love, who supposedly loves you, that they "MURDER YOUR SOUL"!) to become the amazing, charismatic, supremely talented, far reaching, SUPERHERO of a woman & she is, a super hero of a woman. bless you Eve & may every dream u ever dreamed come true & all the happiness that u can stand as well. U are a true survivor! thank you for sharing your love & your talent w/all of us. :)
