MYTH OF THE GODDESS TEETH
by
Chastity Harsh


This essay deals with an idea as subversive as any that has
ever been advanced in our male-dominated society. It is, to put
it simply, the notion that, as Women, We should never have to
dread the possibility of rape or experience the humiliation of
sexual harassment, should never have to see Our sweet bodies
exploited in male-fantasy-driven advertizing and pornography. It
envisions, in other words, a world in which "boys" can no longer
"be boys" but must, instead be whatever We want them to be. Now
if you think that this idea isn't radical or subversive, just
look at all the uproar over date-rape and the sexual codes of
conduct that a few enlightened universities have drawn up to deal
with it. "Puritanical Feminists!" cry male and Female critics; a
new wave of "sexual correctness," says the cover of Newsweek.
Instead of being responsible for what happens to them, argue the
critics, Women cry rape at the drop of a pin and run to the
courts for protection, just like all those helpless Females of
the past. In other words, if Women don't want to be raped, they
should be responsible enough to AVOID it! Don't go bra-less,
don't wear a mini-skirt, don't be alone with a fella who's had
too much to drink, don't walk near large bushes, don't....well,
you get the idea.

The burden of proof that We didn't really "want it" or "ask
for it" always falls on the victim, not the rapist. Furthermore,
how can We avoid being raped? Do we have to put five locks on
Our doors and stay cooped up inside for the rest of Our lives?
That's exactly what most men would LIKE Us to do. Get back to
the kitchen, in short. Or should We do what the poor, frightened
Waitress suggested in a letter that appeared in Ann Lander's
column several years back. Her job, She wrote, forced Her to
walk home at one or two in the morning. She feared being raped
and thought that if She wore a chastity belt, a rapist might
leave Her alone. A chastity belt! On HER! If the Woman had not
been so anguished, the idea would be laughable. How could She
not realize that a chastity belt would not prevent a rapist from
doing other horrible things to Her? Anyway, that letter best
demonstrates the glaring need for a solution to this unfair
burden that We must bear when it comes to protecting Our own
bodies from unwanted invasions. Why should this innocent
Waitress be afraid to walk home alone at night? Why must SHE
bear the burden of avoiding a rape by wearing a chastity belt
(if, indeed, one even exists!)? Does that make Her a
"puritanical Feminist?"

The myth of the Goddess Teeth is a, kind of, utopian
response to the unfair vulnerability that We always live with in
this society. The cold fact is that male violence against Us
CANNOT be avoided simply by having Us put on "proper" clothes or
avoid certain jogging paths at certain times. For one thing, I
resent being told what to wear. Our clothes, then, are not the
problem. men are. If a man feels that he can "get away with"
rape, he, at some point, will do it. This is what prevents Us
from being equal, this nagging dread, this imbalance of power
that acts like a leash, binding Us to Our fear and Our sense of
helplessness.

The reason for this imbalance of power is not due, alone, to
the male's superior physical strength but, also, in how he uses
it, with his penis, as a weapon of terror against Us. And, more
often than not, his strength is backed up by a knife or a club.
Some people, mostly men, glibly say that We should just kick Our
attacker in the balls. That is easy to say for people who
needn't worry about having their throat cut or their brains
bashed in. No, the rapist chooses his victim carefully and
attacks with the determination to succeed.

The ultimate solution, then, is not in what We wear, or do,
or say; but, rather, in what MEN are able to do and not do. The
whole rape issue has always been backwards. men have the weapon,
but somehow We end up having to defend or justify OUR behavior!
That is totally illogical! Yet how does a ridiculous idea like
that continue to thrive? To put it in one sentence: men demand
free access to Our bodies and once they get it, they dictate the
kind of sex that will take place. With this rule in mind, it's
very easy to see why such reasons as "She led me on" or " She was
wearing something really hot" have been invented as
"justifications" for such access. At one time, not so long ago,
men needed no reason at all to rape.

Remember the dilemma of the poor Waitress and Her desperate
suggestion about wearing a chastity belt? Well, why should SHE
have to wear one? This begs the further question: Why shouldn't
the MAN wear one instead? Now we have touched on the most
sensitive area of the subversive idea mentioned at the start of
this essay. The fact of the matter is that unless WE control the
"weapon" that men use against Us, We will never eliminate sexism
and rape. The analogy that comes quickest is hand-gun control.
And everyone knows how up-in-arms the NRA is over the notion of
waiting periods for hand-guns and the banning of assault rifles.
And the most vocal of members are, of course, males, who, by the
way, have that "other" little weapon at their disposal. It is
undeniable that there is a connection, then, between the idea of
controlling the way a male uses his penis and the way he uses his
gun. Society is just beginning to accept the fact that hand-guns
and assault rifles must be controlled or regulated. The same
kind of lobbying must be done in order for society to accept the
fact that the PENIS must be controlled as well.

In this country We make up over half the population. Right
wing political campaigns, however, have always labeled Our
demands and grievances as "special interests." Although absurd
on the face of it, many of Us have, indeed, been duped by the
notion that Our interests are, somehow, "special" and out of the
mainstream. In other words, trivial, fringe. But feeling secure
within your own person is NOT a special interest. It is a basic
human right that ought to belong to everyone. Unfortunately,
half the population is not granted this basic human right. Rape
continues and rapists continue to get off or get paroled. Female
lawyers have been clamoring for harsher sentences, but not much
has really changed. Why? The legal system is mostly a male
club.

In order to correct this imbalance of power between men and
Women, the power of the male must be neutralized so that the
scales become equal. As mentioned earlier, that power lies in
the male's superior strength and how he uses it, with his penis,
to get his own way. However, within this strength there is a
weakness. And that weakness is the penis. In short, it is the
male's Achilles heel. And herein lies the opportunity that We
have to tip the balance of power in OUR favor.

In order to better understand how to exploit this weakness,
we need to look at male behavior. In general, men are
fetishists. A fetish, according to the dictionary, is "any
object that causes a habitual erotic response." For example, a
male can be turned on simply by staring at a Woman's breasts.
The Woman, Herself, isn't really important to the fetishist.
Only Her breasts are. Another typical male fetish is the Female
buttocks. men are also aroused by the things that Women wear -
often just the things themselves, like high-heels, for example,
or panties. Of course, men become aroused when Women wear these
things, but We really don't have to. In short, men are more
visually aroused than We are. That's why there's so much
pornography. If a man can't "get it off" inside a Woman, he'll
get it off inside a magazine or in front of a porn video. You
see, men believe they have the right to pleasure themselves any
way they want. and it goes without saying that right includes
ejaculation. In fact, some men are so single-minded in the
pursuit of penile orgasm that they'll rush through any sort of
foreplay just so that they can "shoot their wad." I like to call
it the "expectation of ejaculation." And all men have it.
Now, if We were somehow able to take away a male's "right"
to ejaculate and place that "right" in OUR hands instead of his,
what would be the consequences? This is what the myth of the
Goddess Teeth is all about; that is to say, the elimination of
the male's "right" to orgasm. Now, how does this relate to a
world in which "boys" can no longer "be boys?" It's very simple.
By taking control of the man's orgasm, We will be able to use his
sexual release as a carrot and his deprivation as a stick in
order to make him be whatever WE want him to be. And will he
cooperate? The answer is a resounding YES! You see, because a
male defines his manhood by his freedom to ejaculate (sow his
wild oats, in other words), he will submit to almost anything if
he believes that he will NEVER be allowed to ejaculate.

Never ejaculate? Impossible, you say, unless of course, it
(the penis) is removed. Well, it's not impossible and it doesn't
have to be removed either. You see, We won't have to do
anything. The men will stop THEMSELVES from cumming! Too
fantastic to believe? Well, read on.....

The penis, as was described earlier, is the male's Achilles
heel. It is his most vulnerable spot. It is also very sensitive
to sexual stimulation. And this means that it is also sensitive
to pain, especially when it gets hard. Now let's imagine, for a
moment, that a small, half-inch wide band of metal surrounds the
penis. Many sharp teeth line the inside of this metal band. The
unaroused penis is pressing lightly against them. No pain is
felt, however, because the penis is soft. The wearer hardly even
knows that it is on, in fact. Let us imagine, further, that the
metal band is locked in place and can only be removed by
unlocking it with a key, a key that is in the hands of the Woman
Who locked it on. This metal band is called "The Goddess Teeth."
Like the Female chastity belt of old, which prevented unwanted
(or even wanted) penetration, "The Goddess Teeth," too, prevents
a man from having sex unless the Woman Who has the key wants to
have it. Until that happens, the male is compelled to keep his
penis as soft as possible or, if he allows it to get erect over
some fantasy of his, he will suffer the shock of having sharp
teeth pressing hard against it, causing excruciating pain that
instantly shorts-out his arousal, making his penis retreat to a
limp state. In other words, not only does the "Goddess Teeth"
prevent a male from having sex, it also prevents him from
satisfying himself, even when he's ALONE! We, on the other hand,
have the freedom to pleasure Ourselves any time We want, with (or
without) a penis. In other words, WE will decide when it's time
for men to ejaculate! And that time will come only if men begin
to behave the way We want them to. And that means no sexist
cracks, no dirty books, no porn videos, no jerking-off, and, yes,
no hard cocks until WE feel like using them for OUR own pleasure.
This is precisely what Female control of ALL sexuality means. WE
CUM FIRST!! men cum LAST, that is if we let them at ALL!

This essay began with the idea that Women should never have
to "dread the possibility of rape or experience the humiliation
of sexual harassment, should never have to see their bodies
exploited in male-fantasy-driven advertizing and pornography."
Must We always have to look over Our shoulders? The Myth of the
Goddess Teeth need NOT be a myth. Such a male chastity device
could, indeed, be designed and manufactured if there were the
demand and the will to do it.

It's up to Us, the Women, to .....
JUST DO IT!!!

No sexism expressed in THIS essay, at least none that I can see.

A darn good one I must say.

Are you suggesting a detachable penis with a seven-day waiting period?

Better get some more women elected to the Congress. And a few hundred
million dollars to buy them off (like the NRA) wouldn't hurt.

I do agree, along with others, that repeat offenders should be chemically
or surgically castrated, but the ACLU doesn't like that idea. Lot of
women involved in the ACLU aren't there?

Sort of reminds me of Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron" ..."people were not

one was smarter than anyone else, no one was any prettier than anyone
else, no one was any stronger than anyone else...

Looks like we've gotten down to what really bothers you, you might try
asking your next partner to be more understanding of your desire for
foreplay, if you ever get another one after this seething manifesto.

Better make sure you have gun control first, might be some shooting.

Why not try killing off all the strong ones and keeping just the meek for
your entertainment? See last comment.

And like you so clearly stated above, a male defines his manhood also by
his freedom to carry firearms and go get drunk in the woods and shoot
them. This I think will keep him from cooperating.

See comment concerning castration and ACLU

Cumming? Isn't that the male spelling of that slang term?

Try getting that onto a drunken, heavily-armed, Penthouse reading male.

Two options here, run down to Ace hardware for some snips, or use firearm
to force woman to relinquish key.

What an ingenious solution.

You had better get used pleasuring yourself without a penis after posting
this tirade.

I'm for the Clockwork Orange method. That way even if you wanted a man to

to him.

No arguments here. BTW Is your body one of those found in
male-fantasy-driven advertizing (nice spelling) and pornography?

Very interesting indeed. I would love to hear about how you plan to take
over the male dominated world. It's a good thing you don't live in a
culture where female subservience is the norm or you would really be
pissed off!!
