Girl Power

INTRODUCING...

A confused rant about feminine prowess.

I would like to share some vague, disjointed and very subjective ideas about the rise of matriarchy.

I have observed a lot of feminist liberation in my lifetime, which is impressive considering how much work western society has achieved since allowing women to leave the kitchen. It seems like there's a lot of tension in the unwritten contract of the balance of power and limitations for women. To quote Ani Difranco: 'These are not my laws, these are not my rules.'

I would like to focus on the phenomenon of feminine mastery. (If that phrase doesn't already exist, I'm coining it, right here and now.) Now that so many women have been granted the right to almost limitless independence, the future is unchartered. And to quote Spiderman: 'With great power comes great responsibility'. And here is where my brutishly blunt opinions rear their ugly heads. I don't wish to appear melodramatic, but I consider femininity an incredibly powerful tool, for good and evil. I've noticed worrying patterns of female behavior lately. Possibly these have always existed, and have only recently landed on my radar. But I can't help but feel that the latest generation are waking up in a world writhing in twisted sexual energy.

I know it's not a surprise that women use their mysterious assets to get ahead. Sometimes I find it beautiful and refreshing to see a woman with a synchronized intellect and sexual power- clearly, power is sexy. But over time I have developed a concern for how dangerously simple the power of seduction can be.

The Problems

1. The pressure and competition to be desirable and powerful. (Damaging)

2. The logical validity. (Questionable)

3. It's such a fucking shallow way for society to be heading.

Am I being melodramatic, or should we make way for the supersluts?

Disclaimer: I also believe that women are discriminated against on an unfairly regular basis, in every culture.
