Back to the dominant page

cephale means "the head" in Greek (old Greek, I guess) which is the symbol of the Joyful Place. Besides this, the word is similar to the word "phalus", but it's of feminine gender. What I want to stress is the relation of a woman and the head (... and of male inferiority - see my theory below).

My Emancipation Theory

This is my theory of emancipation: whenever a surpressed social group is trying to become equal, it must use the same amount of energy and force as the amount that the dominant group has in its disposal. So, in fact, it should try to bcome dominant itself. In the end, bth groups should become equal because they would be using the same amount of energy and force. In practice, this means, that if women want to HAVE 50% representation in parliament, they have to TRY to get 100%. Makes sense, doesn't it?

Sweet Gender Stereotypes

Here I come with a new gender stereotype that I've uncovered - it's a stereotype about female weakness for sweet things like chocolate, for example.

All stupid commercials and ads present women (and children) as the ones who love sweets and chocolate and who, later, have to watch their weight and so on.... That wouldn't be so bad if, at the same time, this weakness for sweets wasn't looked upon as something bad. In normal life, women who eat sweets are thought of as not being strong enough to resist. Plus, since the sweets themselves are also presented as being made for children, not for gourmet adults, they support the infantile image of women.

From the days of my infantile faith in God, I remember reading my book for preparation for confession and, in it, among other sinfull things, was a sin of succumbing to a "sweet tooth". It didn't say anything about finding pleasure in drinking good wine or eating bloody steaks...

So, the equations would be: sweets and chocolate = for children and women = for infantile tastes = BAD ("nicht, nicht")

Therefore, my deconstructive plan is to destroy the stereotype of "eating very, very chocolaty stuff" as being female/gay/weak/sinful/etc. I don't know how to do it, yet, but, in the beginning, watch this instruction video that shows how silly this stereotype is!
