>The feminist narrative turns the shame of rape into the self-pride of choice.
Here an interesting thing I was thinking about: If sex as the seasons goes by each time is coming to "mean" less and less, how can they expect us to care for rape?
If a girl taking dozens and dozens of cocks before like "doesn't matter at all" how can they argue and BE CONVINCING that when/if this same girl take ONE more dick, this time unwilling, this is a totally horrible/traumatic experience and like "the end of the world"?

Let me tell you one more thing, some time ago I saw a rape victim that went to a TV show the day subsequent to the event. Her intention was to show that rape victims shouldn't "hide", the perpetrators is that should run from the cameras and feel "ashamed", not them. Afterall, she was the victim. She should be "proud", she should be a strong woman.
And this, of course, would include exposing her face in the national network for millions of people. (SIC)
I swear, there was moments in the interview when she actually SMILED!
This again was supposed to represent the female POWER and resilience.
She wasn't afraid of ANY MAN at all, absolutely.
She shinned with the bright of an instantaneous star, in the silver screen.
She finished saying how she was hopeful for the future and how she (that only until yesterday was a minimum-wage worker) was now planning beginning a carrer as a model and an activist for the women's rights...
I finally turned off the television.
I didn't feel sorry for her at all.
To judge by her demeanor, being raped didn't seem as a huge deal entirely.
Put in another way, If I was shot by a shotgun I hardly would be able of showing my face and talking to the people the next day.
She shall be alright, I thought.
Maybe even better than before, ultimately.

Why is decadent literature so superior to everything else?

CASA VAZIA

Poema nenhum, nunca mais,
será um acontecimento:
escrevemos cada vez mais
para um mundo cada vez menos,

para esse público dos ermos
composto apenas de nós mesmos,

uns joões batistas a pregar
para as dobras de suas túnicas
seu deserto particular,

ou cães latindo, noite e dia,
dentro de uma casa vazia.

(Alberto da Cunha Melo)

What's some good Decadent literature?

art has no purpose
l'art pour l'art

Have you ever wondered
if people at the end of 19th considered their age immoral, they thought art was gone etc.
what would they think about us?
(symbolism, decadent movement, aestheticism)
Aren’t we living in the nightmares of dead artists?

Is the fact that poetry is never discussed on /lit/ proof that you're all pseuds?

I alternate between my bed, leather recliner, or wooden rocking chair outside. Switching it up keeps me awake, but there's nothing like slowly falling asleep with a book.

Every friend of mine who read Harry Potter as a kid is now an adult who doesn't read anything. A few of them moved to stuff like Hunger Games, but that's about it.
