Artist 'films herself being raped' to challenge how society views assault









An Australian artist has filmed herself having un-simulated sex with a stranger in a so-called ‘rape representation’ to encourage debate on the patriarchal nature of sexual violence.

Sophia Hewson – who arranged and choreographed the three-minute piece called Untitled (“are you ok bob?”) – invited the man to her home in New York to record the video.

Throughout the scene the focus is on Miss Hewson’s face as she looks towards the camera, and only the arms of ‘Bob’ - the man’s pseudonym - can be seen.

“The raped woman is nearly always depicted with her face downcast and her eyes averted," she explained in a statement on her website.

“The most confronting aspect of Untitled ("are you ok bob?"), isn't watching as a woman is struck or penetrated, it's seeing her look back out at us from the experience.

“Caught in her gaze, the viewer is not only forced to bear witness to her subjectivity, but implicated in her desolation.”

The work of the 31-year-old artist, who was born in Cambridge, UK, but is now based in Melbourne, Sydney, has often explored the relationship between female objectification and the role of male power.

She says her latest work is “conceptually challenging” as it “threatens our assumption that man's power is unsurmountable”.

She also said she wanted to highlight the idea that rape is "more than an unwanted sexual act, that it is the foundation for the entire institution of the patriarchy, and hence it is the crucial battleground for dismantling male power".

And she noted that while the piece may provoke a "horrified reaction", the subject of rape "isn't just about our desire to eradicate the epidemic".

“It's essential to the patriarchy that rape is taboo, because demystifying the act challenges shame and erodes the fear that is needed to suppress the majority," she added.

Clarifying her motivation for the video, and perhaps pre-empting detractors, she stated:  "I’ve never had rape fantasy and I didn't enjoy making the work physically."

According to joint statistics from the Ministry of Justice and the Office for National Statistics, 85,000 women and 12,000 men are raped in England and Wales every year.

Environmental Activist Marries 1,000 YEAR OLD TREE






Peruvian activist and actor Richard Torres contracted matrimony with Mexico’s famous 1,000-year-old Arbol del Tule, or Tule Tree, in an Inca ceremony replete with incense, grains and conch shells.

The ritual began Sunday around 11:30 a.m. in the presence of dozens of environmentalists and inhabitants of the Oaxaca town of Santa María del Tule, most of whom had no idea why the man was kissing and “marrying” the tree, a type of cypress whose trunk, at nearly 140 feet around, has the largest diameter in the world.

The wedding was part of the “Marry a tree, save your oxygen” project, whose mission is to stop deforestation around the world, and has already been initiated in Peru, Colombia and Argentina.

“Stop the hand that cuts down trees. I condemn this genocide and ask the president of Mexico to halt the destruction,” the environmentalist said during the ceremony.

The tree has yet to comment on its consent regarding that forced union...

 

Me too.  Almost every woman I know who is somewhat bright and most who are not are what I would consider feminists

Isnt it ironic that only women has this movement? True we have history about women discrimination but i think its not good to go around telling people that about feminist agenda, if they want the society to see there worth then just do things because women are really awesome in their own ways they may be fragile but its what they are.

The same there is no need to brag that u support environment. and just do you ow thing.

I think nowadays, women can get to whatever position they wish to attain without a man so feminist have achieved their goal, what they need to do now is relax and stop working everybody up!


Environmentalist still has some work to do till automobiles start working on electricity instead of gasoline or diesel.

The wage gap has been completely discredited yet people still parrot it endlessly. Women "get paid less" than men because when you take  the total income of men and compare it to the total income of women without accounting for men working longer hours, working more dangerous jobs, and working in higher paying fields that in general women are not interested in you get your alleged "wage gap". The wage gap is a lie, stop repeating it.

yes , you are completely right..althoug women are more educated and more succesful than men, they are paid less than men ..  because we are living in a male-dominant society.. this is so unfair..

 

I will have to agree with that statement.

 

This has been one of the most interesting reads I've found so far on here.

UofM Q&A #2 Milo Yiannopoulos on why Feminists are Silent on Migrant Sexual Assault

Yep.

Today's 'environmentalists' are the single biggest threat to the environment.

Remember what I said when you find that the resources are exploited all the same but for the benefit of a different group of owners than would have been the case without their 'environmentalism'.  And probably with less concern for the environment than under the current ownership structures.  If you are young, you will probably have an opportunity to see what I'm talking about in your lifetime.  (I'm making this statement/prediction from a U.S. perspective, BTW, but it stands for many 'developed' countries.)

dont include me , not everyone. I love environment and i love environmentalist.

No. Just feminists and environmentalists. Oh, and by default...Liberals.

These people will stop at nothing to get whatever they and big pharma want mainlined into the systems of infants early and often.  It's creepy.

Word of advice:  The whole vaccination thing is a so crazy and there is so much information about how devistating it is to so many people that you don't want to explore that rabbit hole if you don't have a rugged constitution.

An infant's developing immune system actually does rely significantly on the mother's through breast milk.  This has been basically understood at all levels for a long while.  When I was in the military, one of the drill sergent's favorite insults was to postulate that "You must have been one of them Similac Babies" when someone was weak and sickly.

Basically, with vaccinations, the whole population outsources their health as it relates to immunity to the government.  The ecological factors at play over generations is utterly fascenating for those who enjoy science and numbers, but the TL;DR version is that we as a population become increasingly reliant on 'the system' for survival and protection.  This is exactly what the system wants for obvious reasons.  In the mean time more and more of us become mysteriously sick with weird ailments that cannot be cured but can be treated at significant expense which makes big pharma/med a gigantic amount of money.  It's pure unadulterated evil!

I've posted this already on various threads, but it's so worth contemplating that I'll do it again:


I muse that 'injunctions' could map to such things as mandatory vaccinations of mandatory curriculum a-la 'common core'.

Why not?  They're already acting like marriage, sex, and abortion have nothing to do with babies. 
Oh, and gender and social roles have nothing to do with babies either.  Men can get pregnant, not all women have vaginas.
So breastmilk probably has nothing to do with babies either.

Slate Calls Breast-Feeding Unnatural, Says Women Are Guilted Into Doing It…



    Public health advocates often use the phrase natural in their attempts to promote breast-feeding. As a marketing strategy, it’s a shrewd move. Most mothers will feel at least a little bit guilty about going the “unnatural” route and will be too tired to question the speciousness of what’s being implied. But as a public health strategy, this use of natural may not be a very wise move at all.

    In a new paper recently published in Pediatrics, bioethicists Jessica Martucci and Anne Barnhill argue that the emphasis on the “natural” aspects of breast-feeding can easily backfire. By endorsing breast-feeding as natural, they say, breast-feeding advocates are reinforcing the idea that natural is A) something that actually exists and B) healthier. By setting up this dichotomy, these pro–breast-feeding campaigns might serve as unintentional fodder for concerns against “unnatural” interventions like vaccinations.
