So, I just recently watched the movie “Miss Potter”, which if you don’t already know is about the famous children’s book author. In addition to enjoying an excellent movie, I was also struck by the extreme restrictions placed on women - particularly as sexual beings. Not that I wasn’t already aware of this subject, but it was a vivid reminder. I am absolutely amazed at the fact that ANY sex-positive thoughts at all made it through that era to be passed down to future generations! And I have drawn two conclusions from this:
1. Being sex-positive must be a natural instinct. Otherwise, how could it survive such strong suppression, for such extended periods of time, in so many places in the world?
2. We ALL owe a great debt of gratitude to those in previous eras who bravely paved the way for us. Certainly we still have improvements to make, but at the risk of sounding cliche: “We’ve come a long way, baby!”
Anyway, just a quick little post here….more later.
