The issues that are being controlled firstly are sexuality, body image and creative mind. Enjoyment and lust defined and put to shame, maybe it is scare. This goes especially for women. Female is essentially a threat. She is vulgar. Her sexuality and expressing it threaten the order of straight world, traditions, religions and state. We live to enjoy products and services, to feel good inside a frame. We have to work in order to embrace ourselves as tools, our achievements and as members of a society, society is to provide entertainment for us, it is a way to take care of us. Make us feel part of. We live to have fun, to be entertained, but we must see the effort to afford the entertainment, we must know it is not for free, enjoyment of life. It has to be earned.  To be allowed to form ourselves, evolve and form our daily functions and selves, deeds, identities, form them as they may be ’not fitting’, society will be formed as a byproduct to be our image. We live in controlling society, society controls us to become of certain kind and we control each other, favor people that are similar to us, please us, we make society a controlling society and ourselves control freaks.

Digging into concept, act and idea of revolution, which we all have constructed in our minds to mean specific kind of event, maybe we take it for granted what revolution means and understand it plainly as aggressive social political chaotic act. It is mass event and making revolution is a necessity setting the world to understand the inevitability of change on attitude level, on every possible level of being human. Though we live in already revolutionized world it is an issue always constant and acute. I take feminist perspective into it, into changing the world more tolerant and equal which work is done around the globe by many as we speak. What are the results of work of activists, dissidents and artists is on display in social media and other media. My means in comprehending the phenomena: written text and art which means have an important role in making social change visible. Interesting is the personal input of everyone who wishes to do revolution. It is an energetic and demanding effort and it takes all of me.
