the rant

ami khubi dukkhito. only time will tell what bloody shall happen. meanwhile, my favourite topic: i don't think we are ever gonna be sexually liberated, or whatever the heck you care to call it, as long as we stick to restrictive labels like 'gay' and 'straight'. If you call yourself straight, can you say that you'll never be attracted to anyone of the same sex as yourself, and vice versa? if you are, will you start calling yourself bisexual? what if you aren't attracted to anyone of the same sex ever again (in case of the so-called straight person)?Will you then call that incident of same sex attraction a one-off, an aberration from your 'normal' orientation?
this obsession with naming, labelling and limiting, fore-determining your sexual destiny, is utterly stifling. i understand we are subjects of a capitalist society which cannot allow for such freedom if it is to survive. Yet, I dunno. I hope there will still remain such a thing as volition,(which will itself still be determined by the economic process), to atleast try and walk against the tide. that you will make mistakes, but that you owe it to yourself to try. This is probably too idealistic, but what else can I say?
