The Media And The Rest

Self-esteem Is The Basis For Feminism Because Self-esteem Is Based On Defining Yourself And Believing In That Definition. Self-esteem Is Regarding Yourself As A Grown-up.

The Modern Fairy Tale Ending Is The Reverse Of The Traditional One: A Woman Does Not Wait For Prince Charming To Bring Her Happiness; She Lives Happily Ever After Only By Refusing To Wait For Him -- Or By Actually Rejecting Him. It Is Those Who Persist In Hoping For A Prince Charming Who Are Setting Themselves Up For Disillusionment And Unhappiness.

My Goal Is To Be Accused Of Being Strident.

My Feminist View - That Gender Is On A Continuum And We Are All Better Off Dropping A Lot Of Those Binary Notions - Is One That Is Shared By The More Recent Generation Of Trans Activists And Theorists.

The 'feminine' Woman Is Forever Static And Childlike. She Is Like The Ballerina In An Old-fashioned Music Box, Her Unchanging Features Tiny And Girlish, Her Voice Tinkly, Her Body Stuck On A Pin, Rotating In A Spiral That Will Never Grow.
