Women are so beautiful in so many ways.
Penis envy was such a lie. The rib of man is a joke.
No wonder men hate us. Want to devour us. Fuck us. Become us. Are afraid of us.
Look at us.
We are amazing.
Male privilege may be more obvious in other cultures, but in so-called Western culture it’s still ubiquitous. In fact, it’s so ubiquitous that it’s invisible. It is so pervasive as to be normalized, and so normalized as to be visible only in its absence. The vast, vast, vast majority of institutions, spaces, and subcultures privilege male interests, but because male is the default in this culture, such interests are very often considered ungendered. As a result, we only really notice when something privileges female interests.
True gender equality is actually perceived as inequality. A group that is made up of 50% women is perceived as being mostly women. A situation that is perfectly equal between men and women is perceived as being biased in favor of women.

… but what about the public at large? Seems like women with sexual energy are accused of trying too hard; women with brains are just not likeable, and women with both are annoying.

- Dodai via Jezebel.
Dodai is writing about women’s perception in the media, questioning whether or not being a “bad girl” or “the whore” in the virgin/whore archetype works for today’s popstars (versus Taylor Swifts “innocent schoolgirl.”)
It’s time to drive the conversation away from “promiscuity” — away from how many partners a woman has or when she loses her virginity — and toward the question of whether we’re freely choosing our behavior, and how we can help younger women do so.

Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.
Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.
If you give her a smile, she’ll give you her heart.
If you give her groceries, she’ll give you a meal.
If you give her a house, she’ll give you a home.
If you give her sperm, she’ll give you a baby.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.
So, if you hive her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.
Someday there will be girls and women whose name will no longer mean the mere opposite of the male, but something in itself, something that makes one think not of any complement and limit, but only life and reality: the female human being.

I don’t think she needed air brushing in the first place. What’s so wrong with how we look?
Girls, if boys say something that’s not funny, you don’t have to laugh.

Fallen Princesses
These works place Fairy Tale characters in modern day scenarios. In all of the images the Princess is placed in an environment that articulates her conflict. The ‘…happily ever after’ is replaced with a realistic outcome and addresses current issues.
Why powerful women such as Sonia Sotomayor love Law & Order. - By Michael Kinsley - Slate Magazine
Perry Mason may have sparked a young Sonia Sotomayor’s interest in the law, but these days the Supreme Court nominee says she likes to unwind by watching the long-running NBC procedural drama Law & Order. Maybe that’s not too surprising: In a 2002 column, reprinted below, Michael Kinsley exposed Law & Order reruns as “the secret vice of power women.”
