Abstract

This paper demonstrates that the feminine doesnt have an inherent masochist character. The supposed feminine masochism would be one of the masks used by the feminine as means to find a place as well as to attract the males desire. Yet we conclude that there are some partnerships so devastating that they can diminish the subject to nothing.
