You should feel empowered, too!

Two posts in one day? Wow this girl must not have a life.

I know, I know that's what you're thinking, but I do have a life! It's because of said life that I am going to write tonight.

I feel empowered! I had a great conversation with my good friend about feminism and how some girl act around guys. [It's amazing how growing up can make a person just say what they need to say.] It all really started with the idea that the world is against us, dramatic, I know. The fact is, both of us are very straightforward people, none of this "batting eyelashes" and acting dumb, it's just not who we are, or who we want to be. And why should we? There is no reason for why people like us should lower ourselves to a level that I can't even think of a word for.

Now I'm just ranting, but the conversation was really excellent and reasonable. I feel as if women all throughout history have worked so hard to gain rights for future generations, we can vote, say what we want to say and be our own person...and somehow we have reverted to the pre-suffrage age. The time of Emma, where women were expected to be vulnerable and observe rather than participating.

I'm sorry, I am not wearing a hoop skirt, no matter who says it's "in."

We played with the idea that some girls return to this terrible form to boost their self esteem, and sure, the same could be said for the statements I have made. However, I am not doing something that is, how to say this, overly flirtatious to make myself feel better. Sure, I am convincing myself that all of the other girls that get guys are the ones that are desperate for a self esteem boost, and I know that even that isn't completely true.

I guess it's just nice to think that in the end everything will work out the way it should. But when I start thinking about a perfect world something always turns up that makes it a little less perfect.

It's life!

I know, I know. I guess that's what the summer is for, sit back, relax and not worry about other people that may or may not have what you want--regardless how they got it.
