“Traditional socialization teaches young boys to filter their sense of self-worth through performance.”

“Men are not raised to be intimate, they're raised to be competitive performers...”

“I rely on images of violence, which bring the shock of pain, to penetrate the barriers people erect and defend, not simple defenses; the phony facades people live behind. Blocking their perceptions from coming in, and blocking their feelings from coming put. There are two way I try to shatter those facades, or at least make a hole where something can get in, to let the trapped feelings out--one way is violence, pain. The other is eroticism.”
― Jim Morrison, The Collected Works of Jim Morrison

“...in the seventeenth and eighteen centuries, we saw the emergence of the techniques of power that were essentially centred on the body, on the individual body. They included all devices that were used to ensure the spatial distribution if individual bodies (their separation, their alignment, their serialization, and their surveillance) and the organization, around those individuals, of a whole field of visibility. They were also techniques that could be used to take control over bodies. Attempts were made to increase their productive force through exercise, drill, and so on. They were also techniques for rationalizing and strictly economizing on a power that had to be used in the least costly way possible, thanks to a whole system of surveillance, hierarchies, inspections, bookkeeping, and reports--all the technology that can be described as the disciplinary technology of labour.”
― Michel Foucault
