It was about the differences between men and women. It 's pretty obvious that it was put together by a man and does nothing but confirm the stereotypes that society has set.Is this really how men and women behave?
No, but this is how we are encouraged to behave if we want to be considered socially acceptable.
So by this reasoning I am NOT socially acceptable because I am a woman and can go to the bathroom by myself.
The Festival of Dangerous ideas is coming up in Sydney next month. I love the idea and will be there with bells on. What I find interesting is the use of the word "dangerous".
The festival is a compilation of talks and discussions that put forward alternative ideas in regards to religion, politics, sex, ethics..., life, the universe and everything.
It uses words like "controversial", "confronting" and "thought provoking". It challenges you to get out of your comfort zone.
Dangerous ideas can be disruptive. They give you the chance to change your mind. This November, step out of the day-to-day to listen, think and talk ideas. Embrace excess for one dangerous weekend...there's nothing quite like it.
So if you don't think like everyone else - you are considered "Dangerous"?
I am NOT socially acceptable, therefore I am dangerous?
Personally I think it is much more dangerous to be so caught up in "being normal" that you miss everything else going on in the world.
Go forth, live life, enjoy!!
