I don’t have an answer. I want very much to believe that the separation of body and self, sexuality and personhood, is simply a hangover from neo-platonism. That I can be a woman and a person. On the other hand, I know what it is to feel used, and I know what it is to feel utterly objectified by a violent and painful experience: to feel a rupture between body and being, the sense that one’s personal self has died, leaving only a “fuck-hole” behind.
