The Windup Girl
by xanderhyde on Deviant Art

All women at some point in their lives, whether married or single

Appear to have experienced some form of ‘enforced sexual servitude’ and is a fundamental

Feminist observation, that her body is already pre-appropriated for a specific purpose or task, a political pawn:

Necessary to replenish the population / army / work force / state procreation

And / or The Pleasure Principal: a distraction from critical debate and moral reflection

Q: Should bodies or relationships be controlled, choices contrived, towards an engineered trajectory?

Q: Is free love really free?

A multiplicity of sexual transgressions pushing the boundaries of accepted normality

Expanding the regulated range of the consumer market-bubble

That excludes personal liberty

Blind eyes are turned, just so long as its profitable

While the public are force-fed a highly controlled diet of fictional imagery

A daily bombardment providing a carefully manufactured façade of illusion, presented as usual

A manipulation of things being done a certain way, lulled into a false sense of insecurity and self-rejection

As one attempts to dismantle the edifice of patriarchal tradition

Where the sacred feminine has been completely erased from the narrative of Creation

Side-effects of conformity, a consumer-centred despotism fraught with hidden murky undertones

Where the misuse of power over women’s bodies is a prerequisite for their appropriation

As a relief-outlet, a regular quick-fix from suppressed, repressed emotions

Of rib-less culture-struggles driven by the machine-of-desire and consumerism

Overloaded with sensationalist titillation

Where the sanctity of love, unity and connection are forsaken

Bent, misshapen and stretched beyond all limits and tantric recognition

The curious behavioural-antics of a post-millennial age of narcissism
