The Contradiction that I am So there is all this talk about feminism and basically a womans place in society.And I agree there has been heaps and bounds of opression on the fairer sex but honestly i think we are losing who we really are in this fight for equality. So it got me thinking that perhaps Im a sell out because Im not radical about feminist ideas.All those who went to high school with me could have staked their entire pocket money that I would never wear a dress in my life. Hell most of them though I was gay and trust me the voice didnt help much. I was such a tomboy it was painful to watch. I Loved sports and gangsta rap music (Shhhhh, I even had some wierd Gangsta name I went by). And I didnt even give two shits about feminism. That was who I am frankly and it was a phase but that was who I am. Now I hate sport, even wear floral prints and pumps all the things I never did.I love cooking for my friends and general house keeping. Im not ambitious really, the things I want in life are very basic. And many people had me cut out in a power suit and possibly in politics. But I dont care to even vote and thats who I am. Its about staying true to oneself right???
Meanwhile in the city of BlogVille............ I havent blogged in eons and for those who were at BHH, I told you why. My life is so freaking interesting that I simply cant pick out an isolated incident to blog about. A lot happened and this year Im taking risks, walking on the wild side so to speak. Im going to start dating again. I have been harnessing the patience for that.So wish me luck!
