Before the missionaries came to Hawaii, the native Hula dancers performed bare breasted, just like they lived (mermaids, too!). Early white missionaries, bringing sewing machines and linen with them, quickly change that. Still today at the Merry Monarch Hula Festival, everyone's covered.
What have we lost? Did we shame the native people? Nude beaches in Hawaii are a rarity, sorry!
Good news in New York City, though. Thanks to DA Braggs, Manhattan’s first Black DA, some Prostitution crimes will no longer be prosecuted. .
Braggs distinguishes between elective, consensual adult sex work, and coercive child trafficking. Without this distinction, it’s harder to go after the criminals. Law enforcement has been slow to make this distinction, hence hindering progress to make us safer..
New York has set the standard for prioritizing public health and safety. Personally, I'd like to do the hula in Times Square. to honor that man! And you, my Patreons, will be the first to get the video!!
