We go on to celebrate the coolness of Blood and to drink in the suggestions that we get totally in touch with our bodies and their cycles, embrace cuntloving ways of dealing with the Blood, and start throwing menarche parties for girls on the appearance of their first period. Moving on, we note that what all women have in common is one thing: cunts*. I’ve made my peace already with the word, so let’s skip that for now, except to savour Muscio’s most luscious contribution to vocabulary, a word that you must love even if “cunt” still freaks you out. (And it sure beats the jargon-filled sociological doublespeak of certain other writers I have tried to struggle through.)ĭrawing on her own life and that of her sisters (biological and otherwise), Muscio covers one heck of a lot of ground. She lets it all shine through in bright colours. She is fresh and colloquial – she refuses to let her vibrant ideas and her amazing personality be bogged down in the careful, perhaps formulaic style of the typical work of non-fiction. And think again.Īlthough it was intially grating, Muscio’s voice and style soon grew on me. It is the sort of thing you can’t read cold, but also the sort of thing which, if read warm, will fire you and inspire you and make you think. It is to The Vagina Monologues what Fresh Milk is to, say, The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding. This is to cunts what Fresh Milk was to breasts – and then some. So you see, if I were to find Whoredom and the Perception Surrounding Whoredom at a garage sale, I’d definitely buy the Whoredom.Įven if it was dented up, needed a new paint job and cost a coupla bucks more.” My favourite games – chess and backgammon – are old, old, old.
I gravitate towards old souls and listen to what old folks say. I don’t know about you, but I like the idea of respecting things that have been around a lot longer than me.
Until there is a shift in consciousness about the potential of Whores, we will continue to live in a society which offers no formally acknowledged Teachers to awaken us to our power as sexual beings. Until there is an established, respected place for Whores in this society, no woman will have an established, respected foundation of power. “The measure of respect Whores receive is in direct proportion to the measure of respect all women receive. The fact that some women are considered “bad” is a puritanically based value judgment that reinforces a fatal division between women.” “Without honoring Whores, we cannot truly understand and transcend the dynamics of violence, destruction and ignorance fostered in our cuntfearing society.
