"They had seen, I gathered, few Earth girls. They did not understand the effects of years of insidious, pervasive, anti-biological conditioning. Their own culture, perhaps because of the limitations imposed on it by the Priest-Kings, who did not wish to be threatened or destroyed by an animal with which they shared a world, had taken different turnings.

They would not understand a world in which dirty jokes had point, a world in which a woman's attractiveness was supposedly a function of the utilization of certain commercial products,or a world in which men and women were taught they were the same, and in which they attempted to believe it, and would hysterically insist it was true,bravely ignoring the evidence of their reason, senses and experience.

Civilization may be predicated upon the denial of human nature; it may also be predicated upon its fulfillment. The first word that an Earth baby learns is usually,"No." The first word that a Gorean baby learns is commonly, "Yes." The machine and flower, I suspect, will never understand one another."
