PINK BOWS ON THE GIRL BABIES' HEADS.....BLUE BOWS ON THE BOYS'.....ISN'T THAT THE WAY BINARY "GOD" PLANNED IT, HERMAPHRODITIS ?

as a sequel to my 'dexterity co-efficiency' series about the significance of design as it relates, as Art, to everyday objects and everyday common concepts.......question #683, of those questions that drive parents nuts when barrages of them inundate Ward and June's dinner table conversation......: 

What is the 'gender equivalency' of these two silver spoons? What constructs, what preconceived ideas about 'gender'? What determines our processing and instantaneous 'labeling' of just about any and everything? In what ways do we unthinkingly categorize items in everyday usage......and people, in everyday correspondences?..


Child: 'Why do people cut boxer dogs' tails off and slice their ears, to they'll stand up?" Parent: "that's the way God wants it to be, Little Mary.....Like, you are wearing a pink dress....because you are a girl, honey.." Child (Mary): "Then, why is Mommie wearing pants, like you, Daddy?" and on and on.....Parents have lied to and misconstrued  children for so many centuries.....No wonder that everyone is so confused!

BODY SHAVING.....Avidyā.....with SHAMING, through the mirroring lens of Conceit and Narcissistic Self-Obsessiveness

Negro men and women......or must I say 'Black'?......shave their heads to avoid looking 'nappy' or 'losing their hair'... spending a fortune on weaves, extentions, coloring and straightening......and further complicate their 'hair issues' with wigs, caps, hats and Muslim-ish coverings; most women shave their legs, pits and 'privates' to appear as though there is no hair/fur on their legs, bellies, butts .....well.....anywhere, other than their heads........  Our Society refers to all of this as 'Grooming'.....with immense pressure to look 'well-groomed'......  Essentially, 'this' is just GLAMOUR, isn't it?  Alice A.  Bailey wrote a book about such Maya.... the  attributeless Absolute, that is emotionally chained to the Idee Fixations of Tribal Conformity... ...
