quietprofanity Jul. 11th, 2007 12:37 pm)What I Know About Men
I'm not really a flirt, but I am a girl. I'm not a tramp, or a whore, but I do manipulate men when I feel like it. Girls bat their eyelashes, and act like they don't know anything in front of guys they like, or give a little bit of eye contact, but not too much, or a bit of touching. Or being coy. Sure, I do a bit of that. Men do it too, though. They have different games they play, which can be fun, but I'm not too into game-playing.
Want some more?
I'm not, like, a crazy feminist. I think women definitely need men. Like, I couldn't imagine having a girlfriend! There are things that you get from one another, as well as the physical stuff, that are essential. Guys make me feel secure and comfortable, when I'm scared or need attention. They bring stability. And affection. And fun. And drama. You learn so much from a boyfriend. It's hard to put into words I guess.
Wait, wait! It gets better!
I want to have a husband and two kids and a nice little life baking pies. I'm quite romantic. It's definitely important to have someone make you feel special.
And some of you devil's advocates who say you really care about women's choice may be thinking, "But if you're a feminist, you should ACCEPT her choice to stay at home and cook!" Well, I don't know how that fit into her singing career, but yes, she can bake pies to her heart's content if she pleases. That's not so much my problem, my problem (if you didn't get it from the "women definitely need men") is that she thinks it's inevitable ...
Women are definitely home-makers. We're obviously very different from men. But everyone's looking for love, in the end. Men aren't as strong as women. And they don't have as big an attention span. They want things immediately, from food to girls. The women I know are more successful than the men. It's hard for me to meet someone. I don't need someone who, like, has as much as me, but I don't want someone who has much less because then you never really feel taken care of. And it would always make a guy feel not like a man.
And by the way, any men out there, it's not like the girl's really a catch:
I was talking to a girlfriend the other day who hasn't had a boyfriend in a really long time, and she was like, 'Why can't I get a boyfriend? I'm going to write down a list of all the things I want in a guy, and I'm not going to waste my time with anyone who doesn't tick all the boxes.' And the list had everything from 'not leaving clothes on the floor' to his deep morals and stuff. It's kind of a good idea.
Wow! So you're stuck in fifth grade AND the 1950s, huh Hilary? FUN!
Please, please, please for the love of God never condescend to tell me that feminism isn't still needed, or that we're "post-feminist". God, I hate these freaking jokes of celebrities.
