Today, shame instinct is overly repressed. People fail to understand this since they associate shame with repression, but 'liberation' can be repressive too. If someone breaks wind in public and pretends not to care what anyone thinks, he or she is repressing his or her natural shame. <br /><br />'Liberation' can be just as coercive as shame, shaming someone for feeling shame. <br /><br />Also, there is a need for private life, one of the hallmarks of a free dignified society. If shame doesn't exist, private life might as well not exist. After all, what would be wrong with someone prying into your private life if you got nothing to be ashamed about? <br /><br />As the Anthony Weiner case showed, adults acting like vulgar fools does have social repercussions. Even if we don't stone such people, we tend to lose respect for them.

She is simply wrong, because people do care, and will continue to care unless you figure out how to repeal human nature.... The shame instinct is universal and will prevail even if a small number of people want to pretend that it does not. Many children have hurt themselves psychologically by exposing themselves in naked selfies. Telling them that no one cares encourages behavior that might very easily be very damaging.Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-80682720721296500552013-10-11T10:07:24.225-07:002013-10-11T10:07:24.225-07:00You may not agree with her, but you're missing...You may not agree with her, but you're missing the point. Her point being, who cares? No one could be "threatened with exposure" if they think naked pics are nothing to be embarassed about, like "tattoos." <br /><br />You may not agree, but at least read her point correctly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
