Picking up on a (here in my place) common theme, it's bound to scare you actually how easily we are catering to fantasies of domination over women and sexual abuse. I wonder if people would treat it just as lightly if we were to use pictures of sexualized violence and humiliation aginst men with the same casual frequency and with the same easy connoction of it qualifiying as "entertainment":
What you want to know is: What to expect from this blog? Well, I'm afraid it's easier for me to tell you what not to expect from me or my blog: Anything deep and meaningful!
No really, don't bother looking for either hidden messages or enlightening tidbits of wisdom because I don't do neither.
"When someone doesn't show up, the people who wait sometimes tell stories about what might have happened and come to half believe the desertion, the abduction, the accident. Worry is a way to pretend that you have knowledge or control over what you don't--and it surprises me, even in myself, how much we prefer ugly scenarios to the pure unknown. Perhaps fantasy is what you fill up maps with rather than saying that they too contain the unknown."— Rebecca Solnit
