Why do we women act and dress and talk and basically just LIVE like we have to please men? WHY?
Why do women walk around practically naked and then say they're being feminists? I get the idea, but the idea doesn't transfer to real life well. They say that showing your body as a female empowers you and shows that you are confident. No. It doesn't. Don't women see that men want us to dress with as little covering as possible? Wearing almost no clothes just means that we are bending to their will and giving them what they want to see. Real confidence, in my opinion, is covering yourself and not doing what society dictates you must do to be a confident and empowered woman. Doesn't it feel horrible when men stare at you and make you feel disgusting? Then WHY do we insist on wearing clothes that encourage those inappropriate looks?
Another thing: why do women feel like they need to wear makeup and look pretty? For most women, it's not to look pretty around other women, but it's to standout, to give men something nice to look at, to cover flaws, to avoid being scorned for not being born looking like a goddess. Why be sad about something you CAN'T control? There are always going to be more beautiful women, so why do we vie for attention like children and compete for men? Let them come to us.
You know who I respect the most? Muslim women. It makes sense that covering yourself and only letting your family and one chosen male (husband) see your hair and body. That shows that women are sacred and will only please a man of our own choosing, not just any random pervert on the street. Muslim women don't give into the pressure from the Western community to be "confident" and not "scared" to do what they want. Seriously? It takes courage to have people do a double take just because your hair isn't showing and your whole body is covered. Covering yourself makes you a feminist in my opinion, and letting the whole world see you naked means you are just satisfying the pleasures of all men. It leaves you vulnerable an unprotected.
RANT OVER!
Bonnie, out!
