Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

V-Day, remembered


I listened to audiobook, "Vagina Monologues". Due to its content, it is not for everyone. From a man's perspective, it was interesting, especially if you through in the psychological perspective. It is not as "helpful" as I would have thought, though it is theraputic many. Any woman who has "issues", especially in self-doubt, expression, or has suffered a smashing of herself at the force or corruption from others, ought to listen to this presentation.

-- the sickness and depravity of FGM (female genital mutilation) is not made as crystal clear as it should be. Especially true is the cold, hard fact that often the facilitators in the non-surgical butchery are often female family members. Talk about a mind **ck! Your mom holding you down to suffer pain and misery and to deny you sexual pleasure, and likely infection and premature malignancies and death. Great!

From the series, I'm rather like Bob, though I doubt that I'd stare for a whole hour, but would rather invite her to accept that she is beautiful and that she, a whole, cannot but "separated" as it were from her vagina.

If there were the corollary, I'd note that my member would wear spelunking gear (perhaps casual jeans and sweatshirt) and would (in two words) declare,
"back again" or "you're supercalafragalisticexpialladocious"
