Ausonius And Proba On “Love Is War” And Brutalizing Men’s Sexuality
By Author Douglas Galbi: “Love is war” is a romantic cliché. That cliché is firmly rooted in
literary works spanning millennia. If non-human primates could speak to
humans, they could tell us that we aren’t rational in believing that love is war.
While we lack that moral instruction, classical literature can help us
to overcome our perversity in believing that love is war. Ausonius’s Wedding Cento {Cento nuptialis} and Proba’s Virgilian Cento Concerning the Glory of Christ {Cento Vergilianus de laudibus Christi} challenge in different ways prevalent sexual representations that support weaponizing and brutalizing men’s sexuality.
Literary works commonly depict sexual intercourse as combat. The generous Photis invited Lucius to engage in combat with her in Apuleius’s Metamorphoses, probably written about 1900 years ago. Latin poetry from fifteenth-century Italy likewise figures sexual intercourse:
And lest clothing bother us,
let combat be waged with naked bodies,
naked chests and naked breasts,

By Tyler Durden: In a dangerous moment of escalating rhetoric between two global powers, Russia has slammed recent British defense statements suggesting the UK is seeking to establish new military bases in the Caribbean and southeast Asia.
On Friday the Russian foreign ministry called prior statements regarding post-Brexit military expansion by UK defense secretary Gavin Williamson "of a counter-productive, destabilizing and frequently provocative nature" and said should such plans proceed, Russia could "take appropriate retaliatory measures." The veiled threat could mark the beginning of a "new Cold War" arms and base-race between Moscow and the West, given that it signals Russia's willingness to respond to any UK bases reestablished in former British empire locations with its own aggressive revitalization of old Soviet bases.
"The pronouncements by the UK defense secretary in favor of further militarizing the British policy cause at least bewilderment," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, according to state-run TASS.
The statements were aimed specifically at Defence Secretary Williamson's remarks to the Sunday Telegraph last month,

Legendary activist and scholar Angela Davis speaks out after the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute rescinded a human rights award for her, reportedly due to her activism for Palestinian rights. In September, the institute announced that it would award Davis the Fred L. Shuttlesworth Human Rights Award, named after the civil rights icon. But last Friday, the institute voted to withdraw the award and cancel this year’s gala event. The institute rescinded the award days after the Birmingham Holocaust Education Center sent a letter urging the board to reconsider honoring Davis due to her support of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions.
