insecurity. A demonstration of this can been found

racism to sneak up on us. For the most part,
racism today is discredited and is condemned to a
clandestine existence (Beneton 1). Intentional

that power in a woman can seem destructive, and
that you cannot live without the daemon once it
has possessed you. The archetype of the daemon as
masculine is begin...
