Word Of The Day

Hector:

to talk and behave towards someone in a loud and unpleasantly forceful way, especially in order to get them to act or think as you want [Cambridge Dictionary]

Noted in “Against the Case Against the Sexual Revolution,” Emma Collins, Year Zero Review of Books:

There’s a reason Rage Against the Machine’s most popular song, with its frantic repeated refrain of “FUCK YOU, I WON’T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME,” is a singularly American piece of art. And to use social justice parlance, I am tired. I am tired of being morally hectored. Exhausted, even, as I suspect many of us are. I am tired of hearing about how horrible it is to be a woman, of how being desired is traumatic instead of thrilling. I am tired of hearing about rape instead of sexual ecstasy.
