The Bobbit case, which brought to life the ancient mythic archetype of woman as castrator, demonstrated that women are as aggressive as men and that sex is a dark, dangerous force of nature.

The demand for equal rights in every vocation of life is just and fair; but, after all, the most vital right is the right to love and to be loved.
