"Nothing

sexual
repression."

Nothing inspires murderous mayhem in
human beings more reliably than sexual repression. Denied food, water, or
freedom of movement, people will get desperate and some may lash out at what
they perceive as the source of their problems, albeit in a weakened state. But
if expression of sexuality is
thwarted, the human psyche tends to grow twisted into grotesque, enraged
perversions of desire.
Unfortunately, the distorted rage resulting
from sexual repression rarely takes the form of rebellion against the people
and institutions behind the repression. (If it did, perhaps we'd be reading of
abused priests rather than priests as abusers.) Instead, the rage is
generally directed at helpless victims who are sacrificed to the sick gods of
guilt, shame,
and ignorant pride.
