Generally I find men are a lot more concerned with limiting the freedoms of women than exercising personal freedom for themselves,
A very applicable description of how obsession/desire to possess can be very powerful and intoxicating.
“I have outlasted all desire,
My dreams and I have grown apart;
My grief alone is left entire,
The gleamings of an empty heart.
The storms of ruthless dispensation
Have struck my flowery garland numb,
I live in lonely desolation
And wonder when my end will come.
Thus on a naked tree-limb, blasted
By tardy winter's whistling chill,
A single leaf which has outlasted
Its season will be trembling still.”
