Girl Power
No school today because of Quezon City day, but instead of having a social life, I spent today catching up on schoolwork, papers mostly. While I was looking up on stuff for a paper for my film class, I read this article from Ophelia Speaks written by some angsty 15 year old who says “girl power” is just a marketing tool used by those evil capitalists and women should grow the hair on their legs and not be pretty in order to become a real feminist. Funny, I always thought that feminism meant women fighting for the same rights men have. Just because women want equal rights, doesn’t mean we have to look as ugly as a man in the process, with leg hair that curls and bushy armpits. If that’s how feminism is defined now then I am no feminist.
This will be short because I am sleepy.

I agree with you
Just because i want the same rights as any man, doesn’t mean that i want to look like a man. Women will always have their feminine beauty. I don’t exactly shave, just coz Andy likes it that way. he says he doesn’t really care. I do it, because it makes me feel cleaner and is hygienic (I don’t know about the legs, but I know it’s for the underarms.)
you are so damm right. lmao.
no one could have said it better.
Whoever said feminism required women to look like men doesn’t know anything about feminism. It’s about allowing women equal opportunity; tohave choices rather than having all of their choices made for them. I’m a feminist because I recognize women are intelligent, strong, and fully capable of doing anything they put their minds to. And I still wear eyeshadow and shave my legs.
