Virginia Woolf aside

I was just following some thoughts around the web and came across this, which to me bears on the recent post by Judith Hanna, and prior posts I’ve written on the same subject.

Here it is, from Virginia Woolf:

“When a subject is highly controversial — and any question about sex is that — one cannot hope to tell the truth. One can only show how one came to hold whatever opinion one does hold. One can only give one’s audience the chance of drawing their own conclusions as they observe the limitations, the prejudices, the idiosyncrasies of the speaker.”

Bourgeon’s mission, through our online publication and community initiatives, is twofold: to increase participation in the arts and to improve access to the arts. Bourgeon is a project of the not-for-profit Day Eight.
