Reality TV Show For Rasa

The legendary Guru Rasa von Werder is about to embark on a new reality TV show.  Her article can be found here, and is also shown below (in her own words, verbatim) as well for the reader's convenience.  Enjoy!

REALITY TV SHOW FOR RASA & YOU COULD BE IN IT!

          What I have been planning & hoping for for years finally happened.  I got contacted by a company that casts Reality TV Shows & indeed, after hours of conversation & video interviews, they have chosen me.

          This show will be about unusual older people – men & women – women who are great athletes in old age, cougars in their 70’s with men in their 20’s – people who are different, exciting & others think they’re ‘crazy.’

          We’re now fleshing out the show with other characters of my acquaintance, friends who know me, people who make interesting characters who can possibly be part of the production.

          If you know me & are interested in being on my show, contact me with all your details – name, how you know me, your e mail & phone, & send it to RasaVonWerder@yahoo.com.

          I will explain some of the scenes & events I plan for the show in the near future.  There will be serious aspects to my presentation, there will be ridiculous, funny scenes & events.  Just a hint now on one project, a Senior Body Beautiful Contest.  If this interests anyone, let me know.  There will be prizes for ALL entrants.

          There will be a NUDIST event.  I will explain later.  If anyone wants to be in a nudist event, contact me.

          There will also be a serious note – myself with women only, as their Guru, explaining the New Religion for women only.  Contact me if you want to be part of this.

          And, take the rest of the day off.

Shutting Down The Agora Does NOT Benefit The Hestia

One thing some people seem to believe is that the coronavirus lockdowns were good regardless of the virus because they somehow strengthened the domestic sphere, and thus benefited Women.  That is, shutting down the Agora (marketplace or public sphere) was supposedly good for the Hestia (home and hearth, or private/domestic sphere), and by extension good for Women on balance.   But not only is there no hard evidence of any such benefit (and in fact plenty of harm), it also reeks to high heaven of gender essentialism as well.  And such gender essentialism is a pedestal that looks more and more like a prison every day.

Shutting down the Agora (or at least the parts considered "non-essential" by the powers that be) and unduly restricting civil rights and liberties does far more harm than good.  It is a crude and blunt instrument that does not just affect this thing over here, but also that thing over there, and that other thing way over there, and so on.  Mass unemployment, depression (both psychological and economic), poverty, poor mental health, alcoholism, drug abuse, domestic violence, child abuse, loneliness, and things like that are not at all good for anyone, Women catch the brunt of it, and adversely effects both the public and private spheres.

Seriously, don't shut down again!
