To become nothing but a grin. To become an army of grins, to form accurate geometrical patterns in grin air on face, grinning, to stretch your face in a way it satisfies those who grin back at you and expect you to be grinning the same, the same, so that we would not be any different but the same in mutual understanding, and there would not be fear nor doubt, but all grinning the same exact similarity of smiling in which we can sigh in relief between our teeth of not needing to do anything more. Because there is not anything more as long as my face will do and it will do as I wish it to match the everlasting grin.

O’Richard I forgot to wear antiperspirant.
What an anti-refinement.
Why is art sexist? What purpose does it serve? Art as relic, as an island is to give luxury experiences and success to those who accept this isolation, discrimination, bigotry, arrogance, greed and contempt. That is not art, it is fascism.
Why art is elitist?
This is the constant puzzle in art to me, why the bubble exists, what purpose does it serve? Excellence, success and glory that happen to small amount of people to keep standard high and the excellence paraded is known by small amount of people, experts and authorities of art, people with good taste? Part of the problem are the authorities and hierarchies which keep the walls up very tightly as they always have been thinking it is the excellence itself and they have found success, a peak of something good and solid. Do small circles make elitism? Don’t such small entities end up dead? Isn’t that what is hard to understand in elitism: why does not elitism open up and invite in? What there is to lose? Elitism is afraid of change and looking in to a mirror. It is much safer to stay closed up. What new gets made, I wonder. Why the excellence, success and glory ring a bit empty and old? People around and within art as it seems to have made it so that art has parted from reality of most people. There are people who can afford it and those who cannot or are not able to think of art as they have to survive and simply are not interested as it is so distant and unreachable. It is not for us. Part of elitism are luxury, showing off wealth, suspicion, hunger for success, wanting to take advantage of people, which all can have quite negative impact on the art scene, art displayed, people working within the arts, the whole culture of producing art which to me is weirdly enough not welcoming nor encouraging. What elitism does to art and why art is elitist is still a bit of a mystery to me, because that is not why I started to study art.
Elitism is paranoia, inequality, discrimination and desire to build a wall in between us and them just because of the idea of being better than, like those who wish to stay clean would have something to be afraid, death and poverty, shame and losing face? They already are dirty and in dirt up their necks when building the wall begun. Elitism is isolation and keeping distance from those who do not connect with the elitist way of living and thinking. It is party of the privileged. One knows when one is surrounded by elitism. Things are not said aloud, people have their acts ready and theater running which keep the props up and things unchanged. That is what is wrong with art, to repair such an idiotic situation seems somewhat impossible. So why is art elitist? It is to preserve privilege, high prices and serve interests of the well-off.
Gossip is a tale of such elitism which lurks everywhere in the meaning to shut out.
Question time
I looked to the sky and I saw a cloud in a shape of an exploded penis. So what is your question?
O’yes, I was wondering why when I am harassed there is the thought in the air that it is I who is in need, that the harasser has something I would want and the harasser has the right to continue harassing? Have been wondering it for quite some time, where does it come from the odd idea of female weakness and idea of neediness, that women are those who stand in inferior position always for the reason of false idea of fragility and never leaving the infantile level. In need of help, waiting to be given something, that women are those who continuously desire because they are incapable of being other than in constant child-like state without abilities. My question is is this paranoia of mine or do other women have the same experience?
Some torture
Infantile culture that does not wish to grow up because it insists on being on the right even when it constantly stands on the wrong.
It is a culture which adores youthfulness and narrow beauty standards and wishes everyone to follow and want the same, believe the same lie of what is beautiful and what is worth while to pursue and reach for, worth while to dream about. All the people who want to represent the same image of clean perfection with piles of money is a weird world of brainwash, manipulation and greed, idea that you do not have any other alternative than to fit in, that any other kind of success is not possible because it would not be success. It is a monoculture even though it is said to have been a melting pot without having melted much in, not inhaling but holding breath. Culture that uses surveillance as God is on its side putting oneself on the position of God because it has the right, it is on the right. This culture has clear fascist ideals which it does not admit to be fascist because fascism for them equals Nazism and that is long gone. Fascist ideals which it implements freely without having to deal with the reality of its ideology because it denies every allegation and wrong doing or that there might be anything wrong. Fascism and imperialism which ideologies it also spreads around the globe as good and hugely profitable and therefore accepted. Those who speak against are against all of them, unlikable, rude and terrorists who get propaganda kind of accusations and will be painted malaise. It is not good to be against something that is good, right? Culture of instant gratification, satisfaction that one will want more of because you are worth it. What one is worth in a culture like this is as much as one has wealth nothing more.
Here comes the joke:

Yes I love Seinfeld.
Feminism is against fascism, slavery, discrimination of any kind, bullying, killing, abuse, extortion, torture, rip off and exploitation. Feminism is for equal human rights, freedom of expression, peace, right and freedom to live in peace, freedom for everybody to speak their minds, to be heard, taken seriously, respected and valued as individuals who are feeling and thinking people.
To those who this rings bells you might be a feminist. Feminist the activist, advocate of rights of women and children and therefore of all people, boys and girls. Feminist usually is a woman who is not afraid to speak up and act for those who need help, are in need and she helps herself because there often is a deep personal experience of discrimination, sexism that has happened over and over again in patterns and ways that do not change until they are forced to change. Feminist is the one who is not afraid to be trashed by many for her belief in equality, to be herself, who is not afraid to protest in a way she sees fit, usually in provocative way making many angry because there truly are plenty of people who do not want human rights for all nor equality to apply all, people who want to protect rights of the rich, white females and males, protect power of the elite, white power, male power, patriarchy or whatever that is called nowadays. Feminism is not a movement that would not have a mission today, quite on a contrary. It has got plenty to accomplish.
Why is this so confusing?
http://radicalsoapbox.com/is-neo-liberalism-really-fascism-light/ ”This elite owns the privatised public sector, which includes gas, electricity, water, telecommunications, airports, air traffic control, airlines, railways, bus services, and most recently the Royal Mail. The outsourcing companies run an ever-increasing part of our public services, covering social security, correctional services, employment services, the NHS, the disabled, the educational sector, the care sector, etc.
Today, it is conveniently forgotten that the financial base of household names such as ThyssenKrupp, Mercedes, BMW, VW, Porsche and Hugo Boss all came from the vast profits made under the Nazi government, when there were no unions, few regulations and cheap labour – very often slave labour from the concentration camps.
