CAKE Byte 26.0: 2001 - a CAKE Odyssey
At year's end we take this opportunity to deliver a brief "State of CAKE
Address".
As many of you know - but as some still need to hear - CAKE is NOT porn. CAKE
is NOT porn. Porn is produced by men, for men, with the all too easily achieved
goal of getting men off. As we have been told by those in the industry, this
is a 10 minute project, Max! Inspiring, huh...???
CAKE IS a magnifying glass, looking into the current state of sexuality as
it exists today. Over the past months, we have determined that true female sexual
culture, for straight women, has no representation in the mainstream media.
Mainstream media is America's reality; all powerful and omnipresent, controlling
culture, thinking, motivations, and politics.
What does it take to bring a new vision of women to the world? Lots of courage,
patience, and a set of heavy, iron balls.Women's sexuality is a force,
not a fad. That IS reality. As such, the mission of CAKE becomes both controversial
and an uphill battle. Sure, it might be easier to understand CAKE if it was
reduced to an extension of the male pornographic agenda. It is much more challenging
to recognize that women are strong, independent, and have a sexual culture of
their own. America thrives on denial. CAKE will not fall prey to such close-minded
and hypocritical boundaries. CAKE is not here to stroke the delicate male ego
! (sorry boys...)
While it is tempting to list here our encounters with rampant mediocrity and
hypocrisy, we will instead focus on what is most important to CAKE's success
and ongoing growth in this coming year - YOU. The number one lesson learned
for us here at CAKE central has been that in order to do it right, CAKE and
the CAKE community needs to get it done on our own. We are very thankful for
all your warm responses, encouraging words, enthusiastic participation, and
overwhelming beauty. In these first few months, CAKE has built a wonderful foundation,
one which will take us to new heights in the year ahead.
Toasts to all of you in the new year and join us in our continued celebration
of a new CAKE odyssey in 2001. See you at the next CLUB.CAKE!
