On Authority and Consent

Authority leads by many ways, but fear is always part of it. Fear of punishment. That's how authority differs from sales. They both want you to like them-- even love them-- but only authority can punish you for having a will of your own. When you grow up with someone as your authority, it takes a long process of maturing to make the agreement between you that you're not going to be punished for anything anymore. From that point on, that person who was your authority is more like a best friend. You never have anything to fear from that person. They'll never punish you or reject you. They'll just love and support you, and be grateful for the chance to witness your life, and share in it.

Well, that's the ideal, anyway.

There should be no such thing as fear between people who have a sexual relationship. Just mutual respect and love.

I agree. That change is something folks have a hard time navigating.
