open letter to those with a vested interest

i am once more pondering the rewards of giving any concern to a seemingly unconcerned beneficiary.

i invite young women to contact me because the voices of youth are noticably missing from my discussions even though the voices of the mature and elderly are in evidence, and in a sometimes shocking fashion.

would like to ask you personal questions and abstract them into discussable relevant issues in re: rape and my conception of the deleterous effects of modern education on the potential for women to achieve independent, intellectual Self. and yes, as deep as all that.
bad night painting and in bad mood about ostensibly social conscience actions.

am searching for signs that this effort is worth it. feels like trying to snatch straws in a cyclone.
and that's not something that should trouble anyone particularly.

dictate how i may meet you and please remember that i will behave as though we are great friends and i have a right to know something about you.

for the record: i am aware this is not so. <-- in case you need to show anything to the cops. HAR! hope you're cheery,
don

this still true?
[What is this history of Fantine? It is society purchasing a slave.

From whom? From misery.

From hunger, cold, isolation, destitution. A dolorous bargain. A soul for a morsel of bread. Misery offers; society accepts.

The sacred law of Jesus Christ governs our civilization, but it does not, as yet, permeate it; it is said that slavery has disappeared from European civilization. This is a mistake. It still exists; but it weighs only upon the woman, and it is called prostitution.

It weighs upon the woman, that is to say, upon grace, weakness, beauty, maternity. This is not one of the least of man's disgraces.

At the point in this melancholy drama which we have now reached, nothing is left to Fantine of that which she had formerly been.

She has become marble in becoming mire. Whoever touches her feels cold. She passes; she endures you; she ignores you; she is the severe and dishonored figure. Life and the social order have said their last word for her. All has happened to her that will happen to her. She has felt everything, borne everything, experienced everything, suffered everything, lost everything, mourned everything. She is resigned, with that resignation which resembles indifference, as death resembles sleep. She no longer avoids anything. Let all the clouds fall upon her, and all the ocean sweep over her! What matters it to her? She is a sponge that is soaked.

At least, she believes it to be so; but it is an error to imagine that fate can be exhausted, and that one has reached the bottom of anything whatever.

Alas! What are all these fates, driven on pell-mell? Whither are they going? Why are they thus?

He who knows that sees the whole of the shadow.

He is alone. His name is God. ]



yes.

despite the amelioration of expanded opportunity for women.

is society's only coin to remain Human Misery?
god offers a barter for life which is founded upon an acceptable
premise: privation.

no one has a dispute with this coin. it is men who enforce
the fraudulent barter of de-privation that engenders
this misery of the social contract. it is the noble
cause of each Man to reject and dispense with this
evil.

this is not to merely dispel the onerous burden placed on
women, but to bring Man to the proper path of a fulfillment
of Self that acknowledges a sovereign right of each to proceed
as each sees fit.

the politics of deprivation demand that many face an undue
suffering that manifests as a bleeding sore of extreme poverty
and avoidable waste.

prostitution is no crime in the barter for escape from privation.
can Man condone these conditions with a light and carefree
chuckle under this program of artificial deprivation? the
answer is "No!"

opinions?

background filler

okay, the following links are the first rape discussion
part 1
part 2
and the
rape declaration forum, date: 04.28.05

my opinion of what has been going on in regards this effort may be inferred by understanding that the sentiments expressed here approximate my conceptual view or what men should struggle for as Man; and all too often don't.
yeah well, i'm getting too used to the idea that most people regard a good Man as an unachievable Myth, and crawling, slithering beasts as Man's Nature and worse; ultimate potential.
urrghh...... more later, don

dissonaNce

so, pursuant to gathering interested people together to hash out the notion of rape with an eye to a redress, several people were gathered who had an interest. some were professionals in the business of rape (counselling, mediation, reporting).

the links that follow are the second discussion which became an informal hash of spurious claims and erroneous nonsense that is embarrassing to understand properly. the Human Condition is approximately as bad as i suspected, but unfortunately also almost as bad as it can get. listen to the three hour gabfest and make your own judgement. again, i invite anyone with a reasoned opinion to contact me in the interest of a reasonable redress to this (seemingly) worsening condition of the planet's Womanhood.

every soul is the battlefield

official reports make contradictory claims about the various different crime rates in the u.s. and outside. i live in n.y.c. and have discerned the rise of an underreported and stupefying development. rape is UP and reporting is down.
i'm still getting my head around the appropriate method for redress and cure. to these interests, my lover and i have begun raising awareness in an unusual manner. this link:
rape declaration forum
or
rape declaration forum">  (wbai radio podcast. wbai radio, 99.5 fm - this file is only temporarily available)
is an example of the scope of the problem and provides some insight as to some particular "whys" in regards the reporting drop, but does little or nothing to provide a viable recourse to coping or redress of the condition.
i would like any and all with an opinion about whether this conception of this problem is accurate or not, to join a discussion about it. and if anyone feels able to offer either an option in persuance to a "cure", or an appropriate adjustment of this view, please make no hesitation to contact me via myspace or spvix@juno.com">.
be well,
