I think it's harder to talk to someone you admire than say.. a writer you've heard of, but haven't read anything by.
I'm not very good at articulating the theme, especially when I haven't read anything by her or OSC recently. But it's got to do with people being forced or coerced into relationships and into reproducing, for the survival of or for the good of the human race.
It'd be one thing if those people fought against it (preferably successfully), but when they put up a struggle and ultimately cave in, agreeing that yea.. the human race really does need me to have sex with this person to make a baby.. It's just not a theme I like reading in large doses.
Maybe I should reread a couple of her books and maybe a couple of OSC's and look at this more closely. If it's bothering me, then there's probably something worth exploring there. And then I could explain myself better, with examples.
