Friends, Michael Dorfman, our homemade feminists in so called Левый Израиль were wrong!! What the true feminists say: historically, love was highly seductive precisely because it concealed as it beauti fied the deep inequalities at the heart of gender relationships Женщины, которые любимы, способны играть джендерную роль слабых. Мужчины, которые любимы, обладают необходимыми капиталами, чтобы играть джендерную роль сильных!! ...womens dispossession of economic and political rights was accompanied (and presumably compensated) by the reassurance that in love they were not only protected by men but also superior to them. It is therefore unsurprising that love has been historically so powerfully seductive to women; it promised them the moral status and dignity they were otherwise denied in society and it glori fied their social fate: taking care of and loving others, as mothers, wives, and lovers. Thus, historically, love was highly seductive precisely because it concealed as it beauti fied the deep inequalities at the heart of gender relationships. Ultimately, my aim is to do to love what Marx did to commodities: to show that it is shaped and produced by concrete social relations; to show that love circulates in a marketplace of unequal competing actors; and to argue that some people command greater capacity to define the terms in which they are loved than others. ----Eva Illouz, Why Love Hurts A Sociological Explanation
