Personally I feel it's important to look at the context of the things we do and enjoy - and sometimes that means facing the negative aspects, even as we delight in the positive aspects of our own context. Good on the SFPD for coming to the party in a positive role. I've got a great deal of respect for Midori as an educator, performer and human being. And educating, performing and being human is about more than simply entertaining others. Your other friends seem both interesting and delightful, too :-) Sounds like a powerful performance.

"only to bring us down with statistics about rape and the sexual abuse of women especially in other countries" "Goddess forbid people would be sent home happy with new information about women's sexual pleasure. Instead, this powerful venue sends us home feeling guilty about all the women in Africa, Bosnia and Afghanistan who are being raped, tortured and genitally mutilated" "It's much easier to look at other countries and gasp at their cruel and inhuman sexual practices. It keeps us from having to face our own sexual problems." http://dodsonandross.com/essay/bettys-response-vagina-monologues that has to the dumbest response i have ever read.im just waiting for some dumbo to rewrite the rant, saying that midori is "brining us down with amnesty international flyers" that "sends us home feeling guilty about all the people in Africa, Bosnia and Afghanistan who are being raped, tortured and genitally mutilated" and that midori using her show to address prisoner abuse "keeps us from having to face our own sexual problems". I love this comment from midori: "person hooded, on the floor, naked and cuffed. If the only context or response that one has to this image is a fun Saturday night of role playing at the local kink party, are we starving our own humanity? I'm not saying that we should not play with our dark fantasies and archetypes, but we shouldn't lose sight of the real world human events that necessitate these narratives. So many of us don't know what it feels like to have our assumed liberties taken away at any moment. We believe that reason prevails and the system will protect the just. We may assume that those detained must have a reason to be detained. But what if the door burst open when you least expected it, and in a sudden flash of shock and violence someone standing next to you is taken away... You don't know why they were taken. It could have been you." Incredible show. i wish i was there to feel it and feel it. im sure betty will write some dumb rant saying they are allowing themselves to feel guilty, like she did in response to vagina monologues donating money to stop the abuse of women in third world countries.

“only to bring us down with statistics about rape and the sexual abuse of women especially in other countries”

“Goddess forbid people would be sent home happy with new information about women’s sexual pleasure. Instead, this powerful venue sends us home feeling guilty about all the women in Africa, Bosnia and Afghanistan who are being raped, tortured and genitally mutilated”

“It’s much easier to look at other countries and gasp at their cruel and inhuman sexual practices. It keeps us from having to face our own sexual problems.”
