...for example, pornstar nyodene apercus once wrote that the essence of all freedom is encapsulated in the moment of a single, unwanted penetration. She has described her rape at age fourteen as the single most liberating moment of her life. She argues in her autobiography for a naive Hegelian dialectic that takes place in involuntary intercourse. THe rapist master defeats the victim/slave in a contest of wills, and as a result, the victim slave is overcome by a forced carthasis bringing about a total awareness of her own Being-in-the-World. Nyodene says her eyes were opened by how small a thing it was, and she describes looking down at her tattered hymen as the er nurses attempted to staunch the bleeding of her torn rectal tissue and for the first time in her life feeling "completely, terribly, free."
