The monotheistic religions made it normal to squash people: "I think there is something really special about the Bible [...] which is precisely this idea that the revelation of truth comes through the suffering of the weak." (Matthieu Poupart)

Then the Renaissance made it easier to blame the victim: With modernity, "it is the person who takes no initiative who is seen as responsible for the emergence of sexual promiscuity." (Matthieu Poupart)

I’m trying to be a grown up regarding C. We’re going through a rough patch. She’s very mentally ill. I don’t feel very attracted to her right now but I hope she’ll recover to an extent and things will get back on track. I’m trying to refrain from getting my needs met elsewhere… but where to draw the line? Is a bit of relief through porn videos ok? Interacting with other women online feels like a step too far, but I get strong urges when I’m really struggling.
