The Tyranny of Structurelessness Tom Cole
About This Show
People would try to use the structureless groups out of a blind belief that no other means could possibly be anything but oppressive.
— Jo Freeman
After a series of escalating sado-masochistic relationships, he embarks upon a ‘normal’ relationship. What ensues is far more terrifying than anything that came before….
‘I imagine myself splitting into two — leaving one of me behind with the Leather Family while the real me, the me who goes back to work carrying a bottle of crimson vitamin water — his heart draws back at the power of the other’s will and its engagement with disaster — this nihilism, it’s real, call Ripley, he won’t believe it.’
