If I felt the masks actually worked, I would agree with you on that one. However, Fauci told us early last year that masks only give us a false sense of security and not to wear them. His words, not mine! It’s amazing how quickly the narrative changed on that one. His organization also did a study several years back indicating that the masks are ineffective. I’m just following his “science.”Welp, I feel like masks are a tool to slow the spread of disease in an extraordinary time.
And I don’t think it’s accurate to compare the cloth masks worn commonly to metal torture devices. I think that comparison greatly minimizes the pain and injustice that rained down on human beings for centuries, and stills persists.
And BDSM... well people like different things and some people want to participate in that...it’s a niche that can allow you to explore power dynamics. Not for everyone, but certainly, attendance is a choice!
I think a bra has more in common with the masks. Think about it... some people won’t go outside without, some people hate them so much they burned them, and it makes some people uncomfortable if you don’t wear one!
I haven’t checked a face mask package recently because it doesn’t interest me but the last one I checked several months back said it doesn’t offer protection against viruses, not medical grade, etc. I just went on Wal-Mart to check out their standard light blue face mask and it clearly reads “This face mask should not be used for antimicrobial or antiviral protection or related uses or used for infection prevention or reduction or related uses.”
