the sun is too bright, too white
is it clear what feminists are going for, exactly? now that the legal stuff is mostly accomplished and now what's left are piles and piles of mental notions and social norms?
is it backwards (feminist movement-wise) for a person to be against abortion? if a working woman decides to stop working to stay at home and raise children? why is it wrong for a woman to want to be beautiful? if the aim isn't that men and women be treated the same in every respect, what is it. or is that the goal? because it's a bit ridiculous. undermining the difference. no, i think we need feminists, but i wouldn't want to be one.
that we have the same anger in us? the same complexity? do you think that women are more complex than men? because of the expanse and contradiction of demands placed on them? (now that we live in a world where a range of stereotypes is present) i doubt that modern women are being pushed to a psychic edge (post 50's, for example), but i do feel that there's a confusion. but maybe things are good like that. more productive, more helpful, more thought-inspiring. i don't know.
jessica, i have a confession to make: i still think everybody is interesting. or, would be interesting. if you tapped into the right bits. perhaps i should correct myself and say, the majority. but i don't want to. saying everybody is nicer for me to think about, even if it may not be truer.
yes, i think you can make art in which feminity is at work but is not its sole meaning. (does anything have a single meaning) mm. and not only because it's the response i have to give. you're talking about living in the world, aren't you? picking at the issue. slicing, piecing. can you make something about just one thing if you yourself are so many things. a feminist work which interests men. and why shouldn't that be the case, when the feminist movement was just a specific manifestation of a general sentiment, a demand pushed to suffocation, etc.
i've been looking at birds differently. and more. is everything this interesting if you just look for it? or at, or into, or.
i keep forgetting that i don't really believe that all all humans have to have certain ideals in common, or what have you. meaning: overarching idea of beauty, common ethical code, or, i don't know. i guess what i'm saying is i don't really believe in humanity as such. which sounds depressing, honestly.
