Kales & Kekales are the objects of the sexual imagination of material males and females in our society.
They are distinct concepts (to my mind) from the animus & anima.
In brief:
- Kale: an erotic sexual male, as imagined and desired by a material heterosexual woman
- KeKale: an erotic sexual female, as imagined and desired by a material heterosexual man (such as myself)
- Animus: human male characteristics, as held in the character of a material woman
- Anima: human female characteristics, as held in the character of a material man
So for example, if you are a man, “kekales” are the people you see in your PornCollection?, but your “anima” are the female characterstics you hold inside your heart (and don’t make display of, because we follow “the code.”)
So for example, if you are a woman, “kales” are the people you see in your RomanceNovels?, but your “animus” is the male characteristics you hold inside your heart, and draw from, when you need strength.
Kekale:
Most women I know of do not want to look something like this, or act something like this. In fact, they tend to shun women who do.

This is one instance wherein men are suppressed / oppressed; We have very little license to talk about what we want. There may be very good reasons for this, but they are reasons we should explore and have some clarity on. (That is, there may be very good reasons for men to be “second class citizens” in the world, or “alternate class citizens.” If so, we should understand the reasoning behind it, and then discuss them as “bargaining points.” See Also: IfMenCouldTalk.)

Be sure to see the Romance Novel cover parodies..!

It is interesting to do a google image search for romance novel cover. It takes no effort to find a non-nude, non-sex-act picture. You do, however, have to step across the joke covers; There is cultural criticism at work here.
The reason I talk about “Kales & Kekales” is because (A) they exist in our imaginations, (B) they are relevant in discussions of the ObjectificationOfWomen?.
My basic position is that Kales & Kekales are essential parts of the soul, since SexIsFoundationalToMe. Kales and Kekales are extensions of the person who creates them, rather than actual material (“flesh-and-blood”) of living human beings. Efforts towards eradicating Kales & Kekales from pages (the prohibition or suppression of porn) and thoughts (the suppression of masculinity, in particular,) is basically an effort to rip out an essential part of the soul. Thus, it’s a violation of the sanctity of the heart, and the freedom of thought.
I would not dream of living without my Kekales; I would feel that something absolutely essential to my heart had been torn away from me.
