It would have been too unfamiliar, too different from the privations and sterilities to which they were accustomed, which they had been taught to unquestioningly accept, celebrate, and acclaim, which they took to constitute the single face of possibility. - (Quarry of Gor, Chapter 10, Sentence #119)

It would have been too unfamiliar, too different from the privations and sterilities to which they were accustomed, which they had been taught to unquestioningly accept, celebrate, and acclaim, which they took to constitute the single face of possibility. Others might have looked upon it aghast, scandalized, shaken, sweating, disbelieving, and trembling. Would they not be the ones who hastily, in terror of recognizing even the suspicion of their own possible manhood, lift a hoping, kneeling woman to her feet and shame her, lecturing her on what she should do and be, as though they knew more than she what it was to be a woman, lecturing her on how she should celebrate self-denial and sacrifice herself to imposed, alien conventions? If she is not a woman, they need not be men, which, suitably conditioned, they fear to be. But might not others clap their hands in gladness, spring to their feet, and cry out with joy?
