Hey every1...been a while since i distressed..i can feel the knots in my neck.... well let my therapy begin!!!!!
I am a female and sometimes i like to just wear some tracksuits and over sized t-shirt and stay at home and not even do eye liner.....this people is seen as CATASTROPHIC in the eyes of some drag queens and men who believe they were meant to be born as a woman and maybe your feminine gay individual.....
Let me start by saying i have no qualms with the way any of these people decide to live their lives i mean we all human at that end of the day!!!!
lemme explain
I was watching Ricki Lake the other day and it was about fellas who claimed they were meant to be girls and some were gay but preferred dressing in women's' clothing.....cool so far i guess.....but as the show progressed it occurred to me that these 'men' all had the same stereotypical view of what it was to be a woman.
They flicked their weaves, (and lets just say the weaves looked better than some i have seen on real women), snapped their fingers, did the whole 'model walk' in heels that even Victoria Beckham could not manage and talked about "i always knew i was suppose to be a woman because i played with barbie when i was little and spent ages in the bathroom and preferred the bold and the beautiful to power rangers"............WHAT!!!
Us women have a LOT more depth to us than that right????? of course.......Phew AMEN!!!
I know women who don't even know how to apply make up nor do they like it and heels hmmmmmmm forget these girlfriends of mine don't even want to walk around their houses in them talk less of outside.
I most stress that i am not attacking these people on their lifestyle!!!! Its just that it irritates me that in the world we are in today where anything and everything goes that a quick touch of foundation and false nails and you know what its like to be a woman.....these 'guys' actually got at some female audience members about the fact that "you a woman honey, embrace this and use lipstick" how about when women could not get the vote nor could we work, when we were the property of our fathers and then our husbands, when we could not inherit a dime from the father we had looked after when education was not for us because 'women's brains are smaller than men's and they cant retain technical information.'
embracing my femininity is not just about me doing my nails and hair its that i can now go to the same office as men do what they do (may get paid less but at least now i can contest this), i can have a child and a company at the same time, get an education that is not just how to swe this and cook that and sit like this and talk like that.... of course caring about how you look as always been something attributed to women but now its not 'being a woman', its 'attributed' to women its another thing to go with: mother, daughter, period, boss, employee, chat show host, army cadet, menopause, manicure......its no longer our label!!! there were times that if a woman didn't wear jewellery and DESIRE to have an hour glass figure and made sure that her make up was done even before going to the shop around the corner...there was something clearly wrong with her.
don't get me wrong i think looking good is a wonderful thing but trust me feeling good is even more wonderful....don't think that i am someone who does not do these things i do believe me....my make up must be up to par and so must my carefully selected outfit but so does my contract law book and pen and revision cards for my exams.
Women of the world we are always going to be battling to be taken seriously......before we were baby making machines now we are paper that all we can possibly be good at is drawing on that paper every morning and cleaning it every evening so that we ready to start the cycle all over again!!!
Well, ladies, lets draw on that paper in that perfect manner that we have been doing so all these years and pick up those books/briefcases put on our oh so lovely shoes, sweep that hair back and embrace our femininity!!!
nwayz till next time.....Peace, Love and Prosperity
