Rant Section: Homo Sex is unnatural western import? | Queer Shaktism
https://queershaktism.wordpress.com/2015/07/27/rant-section-homo-sex-is-unnatural-western-import
Rant Section: Homo Sex is unnatural western import? July 27, 2015. It really should be a no brainer. but then, homophobes willingly put their brains aside to justify what they find common to be the only truth. OK, people. In case this needed to be repeated, gay sex is NOT unnatural. what does unnatural mean? Is gay sex a western import? Don’t know a how LGBTQ identity is accomodated quite a bit in Indian traditions, doesn’t mean they’re a western import. You know what is a western import though? The pret...

The Devi in the Working Woman Queer Feminist Navratri. April 13, 2016. Let your sixth Kanchika go to a working woman. The goddess whom many discus as greedy and hankering for material wealth does not defend herself against these pitiful attacks. She simply mocks how a working man is never called greedy for material wealth even when he neglects his family. The Goddess decorates her spear with vermillion from her own forehead. Her spectacles are without rims. Om Klim; we meditate on She who brandishes her ...

Reverse Fetishising Kali? | Queer Shaktism
https://queershaktism.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/reverse-fetishising-kali
July 30, 2015. But why would the Supreme Goddess of the devotees and saints be given such horrible looks and features? It serves two purposes in the spiritual aspect. the nakedness of Kali urges the devotee to break free of social conditioning of morality and propriety in front of the Goddess. why must one do so? Because Shakta thought acknowledges that morality and propriety are man-made concepts, and do not bind the Goddess. Does that mean that the Goddess loves immoral or inhumane people more? The One...

A Note on Mental Illness | Queer Shaktism
https://queershaktism.wordpress.com/2015/05/25/a-note-on-mental-illness
A Note on Mental Illness. May 25, 2015. This is meant to be received by all those who’re aiming to be compassionate and considerate to all people, or those who claim to be so already. If you disagree with this, I’m sorry if I sound judgemental or seem to be generalising for no reason, but I think you’re among the lowest grade of people from the point of view of your opinions on mental illness. Or the stunts shown on TV? Does the blaming help the fracture heal? Does it help the person walk and run again?
