mudgerfudger:misandry-mermaid:Marina Abramovic and Ulay, Rest Energy, 1980teachthemhowtothink:smokeandwhiskers:egalitariste:feministe-radicale-et-bisexuelle:edwardspoonhands:cassandracroft:So this is what trust looks like.Funny, my first thought was “So this is what the patriarchy looks like.”Yup. This is how women are supposed to trust men. With their lives.Woman : “Hey, can we just… Drop the bow?”Man : “WHY DON’T YOU TRUST ME I’M NOT A VIOLENT GUY, YOU ARE INSULTING ME THINKING I WILL HURT YOU!!!”Woman : “No it’s just… Well I’m afraid.”Man : “But why? Look at me, I’m not afraid. And we’re equal, look, we pull the bow together.”Woman : “I think we’re not equal, you can kill me with the arrow and I can’t.”Man : “What? So you would like to be able to kill me? You’re so agressive!”Woman : “That’s not what I mean, we were talking about equality : you can hurt me, I can’t.”Man : “Of course you can. You can hit me with the bow if you want.”Woman : “That’s not the same thing, it will never kill you.”Man : “Oh, you always complaining, stop victimising yourself! Do I talk about the difficulty of holding the arrow? Of the responsibility it giving to me?”[…]Etc, etc.Every debates about gender equality, ladies and gentleman.omg the comments. Brilliant.this is part of abramovic’s and ulay’s series “relation works” and it has directly to do with “gender energy” as they called it. so all these comments are really on point, and i’m glad discussion is still being had about this piece. i encourage you to look up the rest of the relation works. -- source link
