The Japanese Shock Me

It's refreshing to be shocked.  But then I have to deal with the aftermath, the stuttered questions, the haunting feeling of being lost in the thunderstorm of bafflement...

What the fuck.  
What the fuck.
Again, what the fuck.
This was sent to me by a good friend of mine, with his own expressions of disbelief and confusion.  I don't have the context for this work, and I hesitate to find one.  It might be more interesting to approach this from a raw, ignorant point of view.

To begin with, this is extreme vagina dentata.  This doll forms the epitome of the threatening metaphor of a vagina: it becomes a monstrous beast that will consume not only a man's penis, but his entire body.  Why would a man submit to such a creature?  The simple (and silly sounding) answer is that she's cute.  Her face and smile are innocent, and she has the hint of a school girl about her.  She invokes other mythological creatures such as a gorgon, siren, or Scylla and Charybdis: monstrous female creatures who are extreme dangers to men.  

Why would men want to see such a creature manifested thus?  Is it the allure of danger coupled with desire?  Is it a statement that no matter what the logical, practical danger is, men will always be dominated by their penis? 

Perhaps there's another statement about women: not that women are monsters or are to blame for causing harm to men.  This is, after all, only a metaphor, not a medical diagram.  Perhaps this is an expression of the power of women.  That women have most of the power in a sexual exchange.  That this is more about control: that women are to be feared, not because of what they can withhold, but by what they can express: hunger, anger, and desire in terrible degrees.  

Most frighteningly, perhaps women don't need men at all.
