Personal Response - Cut Piece

While watching this video, the only questions going through my mind were how can Yoko Ono be so calm when she is having her clothes cut off of her? And why subtraction rather than addition? At least adding items such as flowers or cloth to her body would be more humane than having strangers come up to her with scissors with a possibility of being stabbed or having her skin cut off. It was disgusting to watch a majority of male members of the audience would cut off cloth in private areas of her body or take more than enough clothing than necessary. Especially revolting were the ones who were trying to be funny when circling around her as if she were prey and her bra being cut away. This makes me infuriated because it shows whenever society is giving the chance to discriminate someone, they do not hesitate to do so in order to make themselves proud.
