“Between the specifically disciplinary command to have a body and the actual sensations of the body lies the spaces which, for men at least, is the cause of great anxiety. That command is a highly disciplinary silencing, a denial of those sensations and a blanket refusal to concede that they play any role in our experience of knowledge: as a man, one must not ‘know’ one’s own body.”
-Jonathan Kemp, The Penetrated Male (2013)
