Flowers on palm. If women are flowers on palm of hand, they are easily crushed.

People who hate women and say they don’t, what do they do?

| Henna Timanttimetsä
People who say women’s movement is futile and not needed anymore obviously do not know what they are talking about. We have achieved all for women and equal peaceful world? Women have all the opportunities men do? They are perceived as men are active, thinking making individuals? Is that right? It should be, but it is not. For some reason in my life such light has not been shining, light of trust in my capabilities. Misogyny and hate are as if they were normal parts of dealing with women and girls, dealing with those sub-beings whose heads hold who knows what. It is as simple as in daily encountering where the wave of suspicion and contempt flourish as it never went away. Sad.

Running Euphoria. Miss Finland is a winner. Foaming mouth of a horse, muscles working with tense mission to keep track and footwork in balance fast and faster.

Born to run, some people are born to run, to run the world. Run for office, run away, run to the wall, run and run, run to win A RACE and then what? You are a winner.
Today it is as if we are all supposed to run. To be still is not an option. Nobody wants to be a loser so we run, that is how we win. Run in corridors to get there on time, make an appointment, down the stairs, tell everybody how we have been running, how many kilometers and it felt so good. Diagnosis for our time is this: coming to you and never getting there. We have to know how to run correctly not to injure ourselves and not to look like fools. To sweat is good for body.

Girl as a criminal: Girl who has will of her own.

| Henna Timanttimetsä
Is to break free from ideas what a girl can be and what she should feel. No, girls don’t have to have long hair, they don’t have to like Cinderellas and play princesses. They don’t have to be friends with girls only, they can play football, wrestle and play war. Girls can be seen as counterculture brutes who do not clean other people’s messes up, who can say no, who do not take care of children just because they are girls, especially they don’t look after brothers and sisters when parents go drinking. Girls go to school and dream of goals they will achieve, set themselves goals and achieve them because they want to. To be a princess for one day is not a goal. It is bullshit.
 
If this is criminal and scary, there is definitely change coming. 

What is in need of change in the end?

| Henna Timanttimetsä
Isn’t it a very groundbreaking question, what is there to be changed really in a world of constant tragedy and crisis. How do we evolve in this time of grief and do not torment those who will build the world in the future. Why for example girlhood is in constant crisis is that mostly the world is not for girls, girl is seen weak and girlhood something to grow away from. Girlhood is a crisis because the world around won’t let girls be cherished, won’t let girls think they are worthy and have potential of great amounts. This is crisis of girlhood which is made the crisis for girls, placed upon little shoulders and bodies, burdened with shame that should not be there, not their stigma not their crisis. Shame belongs to those who are grown-ups who own the shame planted in them by macho culture and society. There should be time right now to change this crisis which is intolerable, criminal and horribly wrong making girls think they are lacking something, unworthy as persons, incapable and stupid because of their gender. There is an enormous pressure for people to change something but not so much knowledge of what is in serious need of total change or maybe there is knowledge over what is wrong and a horrible scare that everything would change so dramatically if those changes were to applied fully, unquestionably, truly and humbly. People who are afraid of change and to change are the biggest threat, people who do not admit to their mistakes and think they are absolutely correct.
If you are people with God you let people learn their potential as people. I personally have zero appreciation for women who deny schooling and aims in life for girls and other women. Women who fight against other women are worth less than zero.

To become part of gender and sex-oriented society

| Henna Timanttimetsä

Sign is there between the legs, a message to people how child should be brought up. What would happen if it didn’t mean that much, that sex wouldn’t dictate how we are perceived and how we should be? Saying earlier that to be a girl is a full on crisis is exactly it, how to grow and adjust to the environment when to adjust is the most wrong thing there could be and do. Adjust and accept because one must. Firstly is the issue of where you live and what kind of atmosphere you are born to, what does your environment tell you, makes of you, lets you be, how you will end up knowing who you are and what will you be, what you should be and who to believe, what to be scared of and what life is worth, your life. To having accepted how to live when does the fun end if we are having fun in the first place.

To be an individual can be tricky. What does it even mean anymore. Young men and women on the video below which is an intro to the movie Spring Breakers 2012 by Harmoni Korine is truthful to reality of college students in the US. Both sexes are exercising roles that are heterosexual and oppressive, roles that are to be followed by students as fun but strict and fitting the idea of letting go and being young in a certain way. Equaling reckless behavior to fun where women are exposing themselves as willing pornographic wild sexual partners on beach with alcohol and drugs. Camera angles tell the story of where to look. Women line up in front of men to play blow jobs with open mouths in which men pour drinks from cans, cans posing penises. All happens on the beach, bright color swimsuits and ads, ecstatic faces and young people who want to go out of control and to be seen as such. Men are more of spectators and users of goods which women gladly offer since it is fun and there are many women instead of one. Grouping is essential of this fun, group dynamic, collective awareness of what is happening and what to do. Who will be wildest and sexiest. Do men expose themselves, do they get drinks on them like it was sperm? This scene is a collective dance of spring, ancient as it is unacceptable and blown out of proportion. Pornographic imagery is very clear as is influence of music videos. All bodies are trained to perform this act. What happens really is shaming and objectifying of women. Women willingly play cattle to be slaughtered and enjoyed, enjoyed and slaughtered. It is suicidal, destructive and dangerous, but that is obviously what they seek, what turns them on. It is one way of seeing student life and a break from studying.

Is it girlhood having a crisis?

| Henna Timanttimetsä

Crises are normal part of life. Life is a continuation of crisis after crisis. In this light to speak of midlife crisis is absurd. It is as if one had waited and endured till midlife to erupt and be able to do what one desires to do and be. It is an image of people who are under control in straitjackets which they are not allowed to be stripped away from. It is an image of a world where people are not free to decide for themselves. In this image they are slaves to traditions and ideas of gone generations who do not allow new ideas of living because those ideas threat authority, way of life and the whole idea of what is seen as good, what kind of society is good. Who does this kinds of straitjacket good serve is a good question. What is accomplished by it, by militant control? Thoughts on what is good for anybody is dictated from above. In this dictatorship girls and women serve this unchangeable monolith of patriarchy and are replaceable second-class citizens, are threatened and bullied into silence, shame and intolerance without human rights. Monolith that is scared of girls and their education, their bodies and minds is a weak society. It is a tale of men who are terrified of female power.

Asking if girlhood is having a crisis is therefore funny as to me girlhood is and was a bloody crisis. To be told of entering men’s world when I am being stared at and my body being commented by adults was sheer horror. To live for amusement of others was and is the thought of the ideology of chauvinism and sexism which I resent with all my being. I feel nausea when I think of walking and being looked at and shouted at. I truly hope boys will be raised to see girls and women as equals not servants to men, not sexual objects of desire, but thinking and feeling persons, makers of lives of their own. To be a girl in a world where perfection is seen via male perspective, body and what a man can do bring feelings of powerlessness and fear. Yes girls are small and they are easy to rule which makes the having and making of girl brides seem pathetic and sadistic. Those who wish to have children to rape are moronic criminals and brutes, sadists who see evil in children and not in themselves. World where children are subjugated moronic criminals and brutes has a bloody future.

How old, what is the time, when.

Took pictures of wedding dresses on flea market window. They were anonymous without the woman who had worn them. There is something peculiar about white wedding dresses that is a theatrical play. It is as if it is a reminder of a tradition that is gone and buried but kept alive for the sake of promised princess days for all women who wish to be princesses for one day. Somehow very strange since there were many of those dresses hanging in the window with more or less lace and padding of some sort, layers hanging like ghosts, curtains, mystery bodies of dreams and fantasies in plain cubic environment of block elements with little vegetation growing from cracks of asphalt. Poetic in non poetic.
When every day is meaningful how should we think about time and aging as we are bound to having limited time, limited energy and just being limited and jailed because of many reasons that have to do with age, body and time? Is meaningfulness connected to sense of time and decay which we feel when we age, when we are too old, too young. When is a normal age to do anything and feel something about age of one? And why those wedding dresses appear old? Must be the flea market effect.
