Message... But I just don't understand, yes you know what I'm going to say, I don't understand the connection with the post you began with - about women and men hating each other, hating each other's bodies, hating sex, and having no constructive viewpoint to deal with it. The difference is, you are doing something constructive and they are doing nothing constructive. They are not taking any responsibility for the situation.
Put it another way: something like this might trigger off in *you* a whole series of interesting thoughts, but in a lot of people there won't be any interesting reaction at all. Whereas in the personal truths of your second post, there is real interest. Why not start with the personal if the personal is what is important?
In people who want to go off to Rio to come in each other's faces, I think we can say the personal is not important.
Another example: we disagree about 'a sound mind in a sound body'. I see it very differently from you. That is an ancient phrase of profound truth to me, and it does mean something like what you say: "a truthful YES feeling that my spirit and body are in happy and deep communion no matter the shape, size or strangeness of some parts of it." It never meant a 'perfect mind in a perfect body'. Perhaps that is what people warp it to mean when they don't think about it the way you are doing. Whereas the people who invented that phrase, believe me, they thought about it a lot.
If people don't try to understand things like this, it's because they are listening too much to stuff like you wrote before.
What you say is, the culture sucks the joy out of existence. What I say is, it only does that if you pay it attention.
Just my thoughts. You have a nice day too now. J
