More generally, the peculiarly American conviction that sexuality, romance, and love are actually all about power is a giant sack of flaming bullshit.

The elite and wannabe-elite left believes this because love and sex are, for them, actually about power. That’s how they see it and that’s the use to which they put those human experiences. They can’t imagine it could be for or about anything else.
That 98%+ of the world does not and never will think this way about any of it does not and never will occur to the elite and wannabe-elite left.
That’s why they got so incensed when Warren Ellis slept with a bunch of women without keeping what they saw as his end of the bargain: he did not fairly trade power and advancement for sex, so he was branded as an abuser. This, in the liberal mind, is the abuse.
