Thank you so much for this, I feel the same as you in every comment you have made. I also understand from all my friends in my age group they feel the same. I actually do not know a single woman ( that I know well and can speak frankly with) that is interested in sex. In this age group. So we need to have more of these conversations, as like a lot of roles and expectations on women are not fabricated by women. Thank you for putting it out there.
Why do people think this couldn’t happen in Australia? I was born in 1965- gosh! Growing up in suburban Sydney, in an immigrant family, (Croatian) , attending a catholic school. I had written and illustrated a story book in primary school, the nun at parent teacher told my mother that she was so surprised an ethnic child could manage this, with talent and success, my mum didn’t understand what she said but I did. Our Australian neighbours with their unkept lawns and dysfunctional family threw paint over the fence on our veggie patch, threw stones at my sister and I while we were playing in our front yard as 5 and 10 year olds. We were the only non Australians in the street. Our garden was beautiful picture perfect. We’re we’re respectful kind and minded our own business . We were not even of colour. I’m scarred. Imagine if we were dark skinned or Asian.
Oh, I’m a fan of screams and serums. meladern for skin spots is wonderful.
@Laura Palmer thank you, I agree, there obviously so much pain and healing still to be done. It is a remembrance for humanity, not to repeat history. Honouring all those who took part and suffered is important historical understanding for future generations.
