Sacred form of a Woman's body |
Nike is, or was the Goddess of Victory. When the company, Nike, took her name and incorporated itself was there a mystical intention of reviving her, or an attempt to use her? Feminist groups don't ask these questions of themselves. Why not? What is the feminist movement's agenda if not to empower women? That question leaned against the Goddess not taken off the stake the Apostle Paul and others placed her upon says something substantial about the feminist movement. Is that appalling?
When those men with tennis shoe dreams took Nike's name was that theft, or a way of honoring her? The last question I posed turned sour in my mouth because in the mouth of white men the sound of their honoring after conquest has no honoring. How does that honoring make women feel within themselves if the Goddess, any Goddess is relevant in their lives? It probably has the same ring tone of respect Native Americans feel when white men name their teams after people they've conquered, quartered, murdered and rendered invisible and irrelevant socially!
