Welcome back. I remember vividly your last exit off the xfamily stage,
and of course also the bitter tasting joke/cookie that the two of you
threw into the arena: You saw many males ritually dancing around a
mutilated victim (i.e. a theme of cultural studies interest), talking
to one another about their socio-syncratic intercourse "on", "about",
and "around" this subject, being oblivious to the hurts and violences
thereby done to others, who are at different positions with regard
to the same subject, possibly even being a member of it/her/those.
You and Suzanne wrote something like:
This reads like a gang rape incident...
Ach, du *mein* Schreck, da ham sie ja recht ! -- was what I thought
at the moment of reading. A slapping to be taken as a wake-up into
higher consciousness, kind of koan, Zen Master. Nonono... These
are Women...
Been telling the story ever since, as a very pointed example for the
powers of the Internet.
Cheers from another sphere of minorities:
Arne.
