reBlog from Cheryl Williams: Heart of a Woman

I found this fascinating quote today:

Master fed her when she was hungry. He gave her water when she was thirsty. He washed her when she was dirty. He brushed her hair when it became matted. He took her for a daily walk so that she would get some exercise. He made love to her when she became lonely. He punished her when she was rude or disobedient. Sometimes he punished her just for his own pleasure.Cheryl Williams, Heart of a Woman, May 2009
