How Do We Call Off The Game
He is playing masculine. She is playing femnine. He is playing masculine because she is playing feminine. She is playing feminine because he is playing masculine. He is playing the kind of man that she thinks the kind of woman she is playing ought to admire. She is playing the kind of man he is playing ought to desire.
If he were not playing masculine, he might well be more feminine than she is except when she is playing very feminine. If she were not playing feminine, she might well be more masculine than he is except when he is playing very masculine.
So he plays harder, and she plays softer. He wants to make sure that she could never be more masculine than he. She wants to make sure that he could never be more femanine that she. She, therefore, seeks to destroy the masculinity in herself. He, therefore, seeks to destroy the femininty in himself.
She is supposed to admire him for masculinity in him that she fears in herself. He is supposed to desire her for the femiminity in her he depises in himself.
Her feminity growing more dependently supine becomes contemptible. His masculinity growing more oppressively domineering becomes intolerable. At last she loathes what she has helped his masculinity become. At last he loathes what he has helped her femininty to become.
So Far, it has all been very symmetrical. But we have left one thing out: The world belongs to what his masculinity has become. The reward for what his masculinity has become is POWER. The reward for what her femininty has become is only the security which his power can bestow upon her. If he were to yield to what her femininty has become , he would be yielding to contemptible incompetence. If she were to aquire what his masculinity has become, she would participate in intolerable coerciveness. She is stifling under the triviality of her femininty. The world is graoaning beneath the terrors of his masculinity.
He is playing masculine. She is playing feminine.
How do we call off the game?
