American Princess
I really dig the American Princess. I don’t always agree with her, but I really enjoy strong minded woman bloggers. I especially like the women of The Cotillion. This post struck a chord, since I’m of the opinion that woman who seek equality with men are actually taking a step down in status.
But feminism sought, and still probably seeks to a more extreme degree, to diminsh the difference between the sexes. We want to be equal to the point of being indistinguishable, like a bunch of Calvin Klein models with bad hair, but at the same point, as women, we want desperately to hold on to what made us different, what made us special. While we may want to play with the boys, we still want the boys to make sure that they give us the right-of-way, and hold the door open and pay for dinner on the first date.
