That is a refined video of some refined sculptures but in case anyone does not realize it Mictlantecuhtli is against rape culture. If you think I exaggerate or that women are simply not tolerant enough of certain things, then perhaps you can empathize a bit more if we talk about men.

The Order of Things
26/06/2011
Here comes a very nice blog post on change, ideology, security, and if you wish, Foucault. The difference between 1972 and now is that this song was proposed and also allowed be sung at Ossining, New York.
