More From Anne Roiphe

Buddhism advises you not to implant feelings that you don’t really have or avoid feelings that you do have. if you are miserable you are miserable; that is the reality, that is what is happening, so confront that. look it square in the eye without flinching. when you are having a bad time, examine that experience, observe it mindfully, study the phenomenon and learn its mechanics. the way out of a trap is to study the trap itself, learn how it is built. you do this by taking the thing apart piece by piece. the trap can’t trap you if it has been taken to pieces. the result is freedom.

I am a men's liberationist (or "masculist") when men's liberation is defined as equal opportunity and equal responsibility for both sexes. i am a feminist when feminism favors equal opportunities and responsibilities for both sexes. i oppose both movements when either says our sex is the oppressed sex, therefore, "we deserve rights." that's not gender liberation but gender entitlement. ultimately, i am in favor of neither a women's movement nor a men's movement but a gender transition movement.

Not only my parents but the whole family was involved in the resistance - my grandfather and grandmother, my uncles and aunts, my cousings of both sexes. so ever so often the police came and took them away, indiscriminately. well, the fact that they arrested both my father and mother, both my grandfather and grandmother, both an uncle and an aunt, made me accustomed to looking on men and women with the same eyes, on an absolute plane of equality.

The prophet who fails to present a bearable alternative and yet preaches doom is part of the trap that he postulates. not only does he picture us caught in a tremendous man-made or god-made trap from which there is no escape, but we must also listen to him day in, day out, describe how the trap is inexorably closing. to such prophecies the human race, as presently bred and educated and situated, is incapable of listening. so some dance and some immolate themselves as human torches; some take drugs and some artists spill their creativity in sets of randomly placed dots on a white ground.

And if you can find any way out of our culture, then that's a trap too. just wanting to get out of the trap reinforces the trap.
