"Hmmm, now that Bradley Manning is a Chelsea,
does she only get 75% of his sentence?" -Ho Chi Zen
aloha 2u today,
it is no secret i am a news junkie,
a data sponge if you will,
Koral the openly gay radio talks show host
made an infamous IMHO
statement the other day that PFC Manning
as a woman in a male prison would be in hog heaven
or words to that respect.
DOONSEBURY is re re-running a series
from a few years back about MST
the Army speak acronym for Rape
and Sexual Assault, sadly is
is still current and fresh.
the front page of the SF Chronicle
today,has a story
about reported sexual assaults
dropping thru the cracks at UC
the creme de la creme of
KALIpornia education
(at least it was once).
i am reminded of the many many
Prison Rape jokes
"don't drop the soap"
which are a staple among hack comics.
i am reminded of the graphic and
violent rape scenes of
the TV show OZ..
******* *****
okay where was i?
lost my 'net connection then had to go
to my new/old heart doc.
i seem to be okay
so far.
let me check my scribbled notes...
"ugly wimmin don't get raped"
and other myths.
90% of most civilian rapes,
male and female,
do NOT get reported
this number has been stable
thru the last few decades.
in the late 80-90s there
was a serial rapist afoot L.A.
whose "trademark" was
biting the left nipple off his victims
(whether he swallowed it or
kept it was not in the article as i recall)
and tho he was convicted of 8-9 rapes
he freely confessed to 40+ more...
1 in 3 wimmin can "expect" to get raped
in their lifetime (same as cancer?),
in my experience this
is higher in the mentally ill & vulnerable.
my own childhood rape went unreported
for almost 40 years and never to cops,
at 8, i was ashamed and afraid my Mother
would punish me like she usually did
when i screwed up.(i screwed up a lot).
i had a point to make here and i lost it
let me go back and see if i can find
the thread of thot, hold on...
******
nope, it's gone,
something to do with
Fear of Female Empowerment
the Beauty Myth Industry
high heels and Chinese foot binding
this all hung together when i began
this over 3 1/2 hours ago.
anyway, you get my drift.
and to G Man and the rest
yes,i am indeed aware and fear that
i might turn into the
blog version of the late crotchety
ANDY ROONEY on 60 Minutes
...OMG i hope not but-
IT IS WHAT IT IS.
when this world is less fucked up
i will cease bitching....
well maybe not "cease" exactly
lessen?
and yes i have promised years back
to post more positive links
and i have found a few and
some random acts of kindness/beauty.
will grit my teeth and try
to post them more often.
i am not by nature an optimist tho
i do love beauty or
at least my defintions of same, this
is why ART is so subjective and why
i usually detest abstract painting.
i am rambling so
i will stop now as
my Dr.Pepper sugar high is kicking in.
as u were?
