SL is most definitely NOT a woman. (Well, I've never really experienced his manhood in full flower, but I have seen enough tobe pretty damned sure,
) Maybe Chris can post some pics.
I think what bothers me about "this" brand of feminism is that there seems to be a patronizing attitude that I, as a women, can't take care of myself. Actually, I make my choices based on what I feel like doing and not what is fashionable nor what men "require".
I was raised on the "don't wear red lipstick because people will think you're a whore" school of thought (and it wasn't a man saying that to me, it was a woman) That obviously went over well with me. I go out of the house 90% of the time wearing nothing BUT red lipstick. And, if someone wants to think I'm a whore, then I hope they are entertained by that thought.
Same goes for a thong. It's MY choice to wear one and not one that's made by a man. If I feel sexy in my choice of clothing than that's a good thing for ME. If a man happens to think I'm hot as well, then that's an added bonus, but not a driving factor. I LIKE being sexy when I want to. It's good for my own confidence, self esteme and (ohh la la) libido.
If there were no men in the world (heaven forbid) I would probably do exactly the same things I do now. I'd just make the lesbians suffer.
PS: Low rise pants as fashion have come and gone through the years. Somewhere. there's a pic of be in white hip-hugger dittos.
