Movement Hope: Burn Down Sexual Scandal
The saucy Violet Blue over at tiny nibbles posted this insightful article from Lauren Berlant called Against Sexual Scandal.
I could not agree more with the notion that our society is rabid with the self-righteous and self-fearful, liberally pointing fingers at one another while hiding behind their own denial of sex. I am tired of living among powerful children who would judge all by blind status quo double standards for no more reason really than fear or self loathing (or, more likely, to turn a buck in network ratings or votes in some campaign).
I have written a bit about Burning Man influences in the default world in the past on this blog. I’d like to add a vehement wish to invite just a touch of the open and trusting creative and sexual environment of the Playa into our often soul crushing society of self fear and hatred, not to mention the value of basic human needs like play and having fun.
In other words, I hope we can be more healthy as humans in body, mind, and spirit both on and off the Playa.
