Devils Slide is the name of this geological feature in southern Utah, photographed by Timothy O'Sullivan just after the Civil War. Though what it really looks like is the door to the world, or, as Jean-Désiré-Gustave Courbet named it, The Origin of The World.
There's a rock formation along the Columbia river east of Portland Oregon, called "Rooster Rock". Children who've only seen live chickens in petting zoos or on Animal Planet recognize immediately that it looks nothing like a rooster. It does look a great deal like something else, of course. Really a lot. Plus it rhymes that way. And that was its original name. "Cock Rock"
What this communicates to children who lack parents wise enough to explain that the entire society in which they are being raised is mentally ill and has been for some time, especially about sex, is precisely that sickness. It is a communicable disease, an infection, a communication of infection, the transmission of a contagious disease along the generations.
Those children whose parents are wise enough to explain clearly why and how this sickness is transmitted will have lots of problems besides seemingly silly things like "naughty" landmarks. It's precisely this sexual pathology which burned homosexuals alive 100 years ago, and imprisoned black men for having "relations" with white women just decades ago.
Sickness, passed along from sick parent to innocent child. Like the need for circumcision. There's no evidence for it, just the fact that it was done to everyone who came before, and that thinking about not doing it is vaguely frightening.
