<blockquote>Beverly, according to Stern, was the only member of the collective to call Rudd on this male chauvinism.  But as the collective meeting wore on, and as Rudd successfully encouraged the other collective members to vent their anger at the pair, Beverly's resistance crumbled, and her spirit broke.  In the subsequent session, Rudd turned the criticism on Stern.  Although collective members acknowledged that Stern was the most energetic and successful high school organizer in the collective, Rudd charged that she was not working for the revolution, but was instead working for her own ego gratification, her own self-aggrandizement.  On and on, hour after hour, the collective, with Rudd's encouragement and approval, attacked Stern's alleged egocentrism.  When the session ended, Rudd took the Weather Bureau's designated Seattle collective leader, Carol, to bed.  Stern, shell-shocked, fell asleep upstairs but was awakened several hours later when she heard Georgia, the other woman sleeping in Stern's room, cry out "No, please no."  Rudd, having finished his organizing downstairs, was now attempting to get into bed with Georgia.  He answered Georgia's cry by insisting taht she, Georgia, together with Carol, "had to assume command of the collective," and that she "had to strengthen herself to fight the reactionary tendencies within the collective."  Georgia continued to resist Rudd, confessing to him that she loved one of the other Seattle Weathermen.  Rudd replied: "You have to put the demands of your collective above your love.  Nothing comes before the collective."<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=1rZ20wUyz6sC&pg=PA196 A Hard Rain Fell: SDS and Why it Failed]</ref><ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=5iUqAAAAYAAJ&q=%22you+have+to+put+the+demands+of+your+collective+above+your+love%22&dq=%22you+have+to+put+the+demands+of+your+collective+above+your+love%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi_goitrYHKAhXHOyYKHTx7DLcQ6AEIIjAB With the Weathermen: the personal journal of a revolutionary woman], Susan Stern</ref><ref>[http://www.academia.edu/3839609/Smash_Monogamy_Sexual_Revolution_to_Political_Revolution Smash Monogamy: Sexual Revolution to Political Revolution]</ref></blockquote>
