Demons and Surrogates
On my walk,
I recalled that we (my husband and I), had “the news” on the TV, the day Bruce
Jenner was given the Ashe Award for “courage”.
My husband asked, “Doracle, what do you think the future will be like?”
No co-incidence,
really, that on that same day, a young woman in Surrey, British Columbia,
Canada, was stabbed in the heart to death by a girl friend, over a
sweater. “The future will be brutal,”
says Doracle.
The Greeks
had the Gods on Olympus.
We have Hollywood and mass
communication. The news video cams
scanned the audience (at the award ceremony), while Bruce gave threatening
crocodile tears (reptilian?), scanned the immobile faces of young women unable
to mask dismay.
What will
the future be? Brutal, because demons
have already been loosed and put into places of power (and places of power are
not always overtly “political” as in public office). Brutal, because the future for young women
will be nothing more than to be surrogates.
Brutal, because the cowards of identity politics have grabbed shields of
“science” to claim they can measure states of mind, and, demons that they are,
are ruthlessly pushing females aside.
They love
to measure, label and classify. They
seduce you with a false fear. What, will
they find a way to measure an emotion with “litmus” that will come out “pink”
or “blue”, to prove their thesis of being able to classify states of mind as
facts? Litmus, to prove the stereotyping
they pretend, by calling it science, not to do.
I am an
elder now, matriarch, so I can say what I want and not give a flying fuck what
anybody thinks. What will the future
be? Brutal. Because two days later, the tabloids,
magazines, news, fb, communication network, including word of mouth, tell the
young women who are forbidden to speak on their own behalf, or name their own
experience, “Behold, the choice of the White Gown! How could you young women
presume to know better. Now you may (only) look to your role model who is from
the camp of men, who now declare to know far better than you could ever aspire,
what it really feels like to be a woman!” If you don’t agree, there’s a label for that
state of mind too. You are so wrong.
Demonologically,
women do: 1. ask each other “Come here
often?” in change rooms; 2. Call out for
a tampon in the washroom booth; 3. all
the gods tell you now, be silent, you Surrogates! You don’t know anything.
Since the
demons were released some time ago, but faith had already been made completely passé,
nobody who mattered noticed or was noticed.
They got into places of power, that is, to the youngest ones (remember,
women are mere surrogates), to use their new “science of identifying and
measuring feelings and states of mind”.
Silence, you Surrogates!
Yes, the
future under demons will be brutal. Just
wait. As “they” say, “Ain’t seen nothin’
yet!” Stabbing for a sweater is the horizon
for a surrogate.
