I just read a very interesting blog about feminism. It was great cos it was something I have been thinking about lately. What does it really mean to be a woman? I just got my hair cut much shorter than I was planning on. My parents didn't much approve of it cos well they thought it didn't look "feminine."
Yeah, I'm one of those girls who through middle/high school decided I was gonna be better than all those "preppy", "pretty" girls who wore make-up all the time. Cos hey I was better than them, deeper than them. I've come to realize though that my attitude did end up hurting me. There is a part of me (sometimes a secret, hidden part of me) that wants to feel like I'm beautiful, glorious and that it is clearly reflected on the outside. I think that's the way God made me and all girls. I never want to fall into the trap thinking that I am less of that true person that I am if I don't wear makeup (or wear my most stylin' clothes), but heh I actually think it can be a lot of fun to really get dressed up and feel absolutely the best about all that I am.
I'm not really one for high heels cos I've never been the most elegant walker even in regular flat shoes. I also just don't think they're good for a person's feet/ankles etc. The really high ones kinda remind me of how women had to wear corsettes, which were so tight (but yet so in style) that some women actually died from them. Ok maybe not the best comparison, but you get my point. Do what's good and healthy for you-not what society says you have to do.
