Envy
Since I am of a mood and the world needs to feel my pain annoyance because I am *that* histrionic...
Today's lecture, kids, is about Freud, Penis Envy, Womb Envy, and what would the world be if men could menstruate by Gloria Steinem.
Maybe I could strike out sloth as well, or maybe I should keep little sloth for future abuse.
*********
This, also, have nothing to do with the title or the first part of the entry. However, I have been thinking of it quite often lately.
I learned in Art History class, way back when Dinosaurs still walk the planet, that the "mood" of Entertainment Industry moves with the "mood" of the world.
In the 30's, during the depression and World Wars, the entertainment industry produce films that portrays fancy extravagant life-styles. People pay their hard-earn money to escape their doom lifestyle and enter the fancy one.
In the 60's, with all the B-movie, with space exploration, the aliens and the unknown are the threat. Science and knowledge are man’s best friends.
In the 70's and 80's, with ET and Cocoon, Extraterrestrials are our savior. Superman, Wonder Woman, Spiderman and Batman fell somewhere along those lines. Aliens, superhuman and accidental freaks.
In the 90's, we have The Terminator. We have The Desert War. Human trying to save his own race and putting some kind of order to his own kind.
It's 2000's and we are back to Super!freaks. We lost faith in humanity and no green men with tentacles will be coming to save us.
I slept through most of the classes, but there was a reason behind these movements. Anyone care to explain in details or, perhaps, correct me??
And where in the world is my super power? I want my own Super!freak Power, dummit!!
