A professora da UCP Sofia Neves acrescenta: "O mito do amor romântico, que alimenta uma crença social no amor sacrificial por parte das mulheres, e que é um factor de risco para a violência na intimidade, configura uma forma de poder para muitos parceiros que, em nome de uma pseudo-supremacia masculina, usam a coacção física, psicológica e sexual como instrumento de dominação sobre as companheiras."
A minha resposta (parafraseando Magnetic Fields):
I don’t want to get over you
I guess I could take a sleeping pill
and sleep at will
and not have to go through
what I go through
I guess I should take Prozac, right,
and just smile all night
at somebody new
Somebody not too bright
but sweet and kind
who would try to get you off my mind
I could leave this agony behind
which is just what I’d do
if I wanted to
but I don’t want to get over you
cause I don’t want to get over love
I could listen to my therapist,
pretend you don’t exist,
and not have to dream of
what I dream of
I could listen to all my friends
and go out again
and pretend it’s enough
or I could make a career of being blue
I could dress in black and read Camus
smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth
like I was 17
that would be a scream
but I don’t want to get over you
Há uma grande diferença entre matar por amor e morrer de amor
