Battle Lines:

Simone’s Notes:

Freud argued that the Madonna–whore complex was caused by a split between the affectionate and the sexual currents in male desire. Oedipal and castration fears prohibit the affection felt for past incestuous objects from being attached to women who are sensually desired: "The whole sphere of love in such persons remains divided in the two directions personified in art as sacred and profane (or animal) love". In order to minimize anxiety, the man categorizes women into two groups: women he can admire and women he finds sexually attractive. Whereas the man loves women in the former category, he despises and devalues the latter group. Psychoanalyst Richard Tuch suggests that Freud offered at least one alternative explanation for the Madonna–whore complex: This earlier theory is based not on oedipal-based castration anxiety but on man's primary hatred of women, stimulated by the child's sense that he had been made to experience intolerable frustration and/or narcissistic injury at the hands of his mother. According to this theory, in adulthood the boy-turned-man seeks to avenge these mistreatments through sadistic attacks on women who are stand-ins for mother.

The battle lines are being drawn

Two armies gear up to fight.

Madonna:

Mother Superior is the commander.

For years, she kept back Ai-Oni.

This time, she was too late.

Ai-Oni got the upper hand.

Mother Superior couldn’t let Manami get the other hand.

“Too much lust will plunge us into chaos.”

Her deities are ready to fight back.

For too long, they have sat back too long.

They are counting down,

Counting down to the blood moon.

Whore:

Manami sits upon her throne.

She knows her purpose now.

Her mother showed her the light.

She will become a whoredonna.

Her slaves are happy to serve.

However, the games are over.

It’s time to begin the hardcore things.

The slaves are in line for it.

Their kingdom must stand for the End of Days.

The slaves need more pets.

The slaves want more action.

They are counting down,

Counting down to the blood moon.
