January 29, 2004 - 10:08 a.m. "Desire...is a cultural trope for both pleasurable satisfaction and dangerous, possibly alien, hunger... Women are terrified and repelled by visions of themselves as voracious, needy, yearning, and hungering without restraint. Yet appetite, whether for food of for sex carries with it the hope of satisfaction and the fear of wanting too much or of needing and not getting. Desire is not neutral." Janice Irvine
