Thank you for your comment Stephanie. I don’t often respond, but you raise a lot of questions that I’d like to address. This was not about a “personality clash.” This was a presenter being repeatedly attacked by a moderator who’s also an AASECT Board member and should know better. It’s important to “discuss,” regardless of anybody’s “support team,” because it’s important to tell the truth and expose the attacker. It’s also my hope that the AASECT board, though I understand they are circling the wagons, might take steps to make sure this doesn’t happen again to another presenter. As for bonobos, they are not “monkeys.” They are Great Apes, like us. They’re 98% genetically similar to humans, and in many case are more humane, certainly just as sensitive. And in the modern anthropocene world, bonobos get plenty of stress, from being hunted in the wild to imprisoned in the zoo. It’s the erotic ways that they handle stress that makes bonobos so worthy of our attention and a new Great Ape paradigm for humanity.
