Dear diary, my hair.

What are we afraid of? What is the scare? The thin line between love and hate.

Forming image, bodies online

Open derogation of women in art, in anywhere where power position is to be had and fought for.

It could be any scene, science, technology, on the street, in school and at work. Justification is that women who are harassed should feel happy and satisfied for harassment as man is paying attention and noticing women and what women have got, giving them thanks for existing and looking beautiful. When I face harassment I do not feel happiness, harassment is harassment. It is humiliation usually in public to rip off any dignity and power. I strongly think my world view is completely opposite to the person who thinks harassing is a good way to give feedback and show interest. Harasser is not interested in how women feel and what makes women feel happy and good about themselves because to harass is for harasser to feel good about himself. Harasser does not respect women or how women think. Women are only bodies and disposable ones for harasser, not capable of doing what men do, not equal, not even possessing the same rights as men since women do not have the same amount of power as males traditionally do. For harasser power is visible and physical strength, threat and right to take whatever he pleases. Harasser does not see how strong women have to be in a world of harassing and bullying because only thing he sees is himself and only thing he values is bodily power, physical authority which he thinks is superior.

So when women enter scenes populated and ruled by men it is clear there is no respect to be had for trying to enter and take the jobs men have, or maybe even be better at what men do. People who find indecency and poking (testing what someone can take) grown up and suitable ways to interact do not have any idea what other person is, that one is facing a human being with history, feelings and thoughts but a threat. For lot of men women are a threat in lot of ways. Such matter as sensibility, respect and decency are of course not relevant to harasser because only he is someone with potential and right to act anyway he wants. He takes, acts, does and someone else gives to him what he want. It is like interacting with a child and patterns of thought are very simple. After having got what he wanted object can be discarded. Harassing is meant to humiliate and it is very strange when harasser states that he is giving a compliment by showing interest and that woman should be grateful when she gets attention.

Cult of genius (go wax your balls or something)

Giant, great, unique thinker, not usually small, fragile, insignificant or female but big, self-assure and male. Genius has something to do with Western success, dominance, power, knowledge, fame and obsession, adoring and idolizing. Idol who is someone special above the rest, someone who has special skills, abilities and way to present oneself in specific manner. Exceptional character who seeks to find perfection tirelessly, and truth, find something invisible which is and has been beyond most people to imagine and see. Impossible made possible, genius an exceptional person lifted up who has been able to reveal a new way of making, thinking and seeing, something unseen, unheard, unconventional, unimaginable, unsolvable and revolutionary. To be genius means one has to be creative, do creative work and go over limits that society has set. That maybe is not enough. To go further, go far and find the simplest solution usually on your own. It is a manifestation of power of one individual. One can do something new and innovative without being a genius. It has to be declared. Genius the personality trait as it is something we know when we think about it is something scary still. There is a thin line between crazy and genius, intellectual superiority that is almost too much for human brain to tolerate. What cult of genius expects is a freak of nature.
It is usually status given by experts who identify and acknowledge, have evaluated and recognized work of a genius. To declare oneself genius is a sign of lack of humility and modesty. Placing oneself somewhere where it is almost impossible to go but one has to take the step of doing so without shame for it. Who dares to challenge this person, who dares to say such a thing? No one but a full-blown narcissist, self-obsessed lunatic and megalomaniac. Success and being noticed is part of the cult, of course. One of a kind mastermind who know worth of oneself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genius_(mythology) Genius has spirit, divine guidance and protection so it is not false to speak about cult or religion in the context of genius. Must be due to Christianity genius has become to embody a man, man’s ability to think, do, invent and master.
https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/video/artist-marilyn-minter-is-pretty-dirty I have placed this interview of Marilyn Minter here because she refers herself to being a genius, a genius who creates something extraordinary, genius an exceptional thinker, a mind analytically and intellectually superior. What other would you say when you are asked are you a genius? First of all one has to have a lot of balls to give such a statement and yet what a banal thing to say. Is genius a bumper sticker? Interesting is how cult of genius seems to be a very American phenomenon. What kind of intellect is American genius about and is their criticism in Minter’s statement towards the royalty of intellect which is close to pop culture? How intellect manifests itself in a genius and in society today when anyone can be a genius?
