Sex Cultures: 6th Period
After the bell rings, Grissom gives a lecture on Sexuality in Ancient Egypt, cringing just a little at the mention of Hathor.
He then asks his students to file into the hallway, where he has strung up several posters of Bast right before 6th Period.
"Bast, as you can see here in many forms, is the Egyptian Goddess of cats, women, children, love, fertility, birth, music, and dance."
Discussion: What do you think it says about a society, to have their goddess of sensuality associated with an animal? Do you like the symbolism, does it disgust you, can you relate this to your own culture, or does it seem like an outdated and ancient concept?
Homework: Read this handout with global definitions of sex, sexuality, and sexual rights.
