A culture in transit
Taona Murenga
Is the idea of freedom of expression ruining our social fabric? Or is it a cultural revolution? A dive onto waters whose depths are questionable? or is it me only who is witnessing political and social correctness going out of hand?
Rather what are our values? Do we have any? You may keep the answers to yourself.
We have witnessed the codifying and accepting prostitution as a trade it is now covered by a code of conduct… 23 August 2006 saw a “Boobs on bikes,” along a city centre Queen Street in Auckland, New Zealand . Women were showing ‘proudly' their very womanhood to thousands of watchers. Most were cheering, only a handful 'were out of place' jeering in disapproval. The police were there making sure that no naked women would get hurt or no naked women will hurt the crowd?
“Fake breasts or not this is improper” a spectator protested. But what would one say if the city fathers have allowed it to happen. Ironically the naked ladies were on armoured vehicles as if going to war against morality; Desert-storm style. |
This is a dawn of a new era, I am convinced. We better brace for a shocker ahead.
I wanted to cry out aloud in protest but no-one would have listened, just look at how well attended the parade was ... |
