Sparkling DiamondsCause we are living in a material worldAnd I am a material girl.
And diamonds, diamonds are a girl’s best friend.Oh yeah… A material world that is where we all are living in, like it or not, this is the new civilisation. You know what, I kind of like it.
When I watch how Nicole Kidman does Satine in the Moulin Rouge, it somehow just makes me feel empowered as a woman. Ok, that sounds a little scandalous, I guess, only because she’s playing a courtesan in the show, using her feminine wiles to get what she wants—to be an actress.
But as I’ve said, it makes me feel empowered as a woman; it does NOT mean I am for the movement of anti-male prejudice. Never that, or at least not anymore! Though sometimes, still I do feel I’d be better off with fewer, certain men alive.
I am definitely for feminism, but when I say that, I want to be understood that all I am asking on behalf of all women is respect from everyone as an equal. There was once when I had gotten myself so worked-up over woman’s right because of the way men had treated women for centuries and more, I started hating guys—passionately. And because of that I became confuse over the term, feminism. I started thinking of it as the anti-men movement. Not anymore, what I want for everyone is just respect, simple as that.
I know there are many cases whereby, feminists are closely related to be lesbians. I just want to clarify right now, I love looking at beautiful people, men and women alike. But I would never, ever became a lesbian.
Lastly, like I’ve mentioned in my previous entry, I still feel strongly that a woman should always, always be self-reliant, even after 30 years of marriage. Growing reliant on someone, gives them the power to destroy you if you’re not careful. Besides, I doubt there’s any man life who likes a clingy weakling, unless he is a super duper chauvinistic loser.
