sorcyressPART ONE:
I think of myself as more or less an equalist when it comes to men and womens rights, with a tad of a feministic streak in me. That is why I cannot stand the hipocracy of womens rights in this country. We claim to have equal rights in the U.S. for both men and women, however, the female half of the race still has a looooong way to go.
And most of that is her fault. "Her" being the collective females of this country, but in this case, mainly the ones who are setting us back.
One glaringly huge example of this is how stupid "we" are about sex. "Oh, thats all these boys think about, sex, sex, sex!!" Yes this may be true. [sarcasm] But I'm surrre that this has nothing to do with the fact that our clothes show off more skin then they cover.[/sarcasm] I mean, especailly now, in the summertime, I am assulted daily with girls wearing nearly nothing. I'm sure this impresses the guys, but it just makes me disgusted that you would let yourself look like that.
On a similar note, why do females try so hard to catch a boyfriend, especially THIS early in life??? You look at how perfect they make themselves look, their make-up, their hair, their sexy revealing clothes...The only reason they do it is so they'll look good. Why do they want to look so good? so they can catch themselves a boy, or if they have one already, look good for them. It's completely shallow, and just helps feed the idea that we are empty brained and inferior.
Oh...I gotta go to gymnastics now. I will try to write more later...

You are going to be VERY happy with yourself when you're older if you can keep this attitude.
I'm still developing mine.

Presentation, perception, and stereotyping
on 2004-05-18 04:39 pm (UTC)Guys who buy into the stereotype of girls being dim-witted sex objects are, well, not so smart and superior, shall we say? The girls who target them by their own presentation, deserve them.
Girls who buy into the stereotype of girls being dim-witted sex objects need to spend more time around intelligent, discerning, well-rounded young women like you. :)
Re: Presentation, perception, and stereotyping
on 2004-05-19 10:02 am (UTC)So true. I thought I hated women, when really I just hated the shallow self-absorbed "image is everything, brains are stupid" type of female I grew up with.
Gender roles are becoming less and less defined. The stereotypes that cling to the old "traitional" roles deserve each other.
Viva la tomboys!
