Normal



I don't know about you, but I get the feeling that the hiv+ emancipation wave has petered out and died.

Don't get me wrong. There are lots of men out there working hard for all kinds of rights and against all kinds of rules.

But emancipation?

We've settled back into being 'normal' again.

Being 'normal' is the natural dutch state of being. 
Being 'normal' is not being out of the ordinary, is being like everyone else, being the same.
Being 'normal' is also not being troublesome, not making a fuss, not being a pain in the ass.

Take a look at the Hiv Vereniging, 'normality' taken to extremes.

Washed, bleached, and sanitized. The douche has been in their ass for years making sure there is no awkward shit floating around inside.

But being 'normal' also indicates stagnation, and with stagnation comes decay, rotting, and ultimately an inevitable, albeit painless, death.

'Normality' - the Dutch disease
