I call myself a feminist at heart but when asked about what it truly means to be a woman, I never quite know what to say. It begs the question of what is it about women (beyond obvious anatomical differences) that is different from men?
Someday I shall give it more thought and hopefully it'll do my sex justice.
While we're at this topic, this Madonna track came to mind...
Girls can wear jeans
And cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots
Cause it's OK to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading
'Cause you think that being a girl is degrading
But secretly you'd love to know what it's like
Wouldn't you? What it feels like for a girl.
Silky smooth
Lips as sweet as candy,
Tight blue jeans
Skin that shows in patches
Strong inside but you don't know it
Good little girls they never show it
When you open up your mouth to speak
Could you be a little weak?
Do you know what it feels like for a girl?
Do you know what it feels like in this world, for a girl?
Hair that twirls on finger tips so gently
Hands that rest on jutting hips repenting
Hurt that's not supposed to show
And tears that fall when no one knows
When you're trying hard to be your best
Could you be a little less?
On a separate note, pls tell me I'm not the only heterosexual female who thinks Madge looks v hot on the latest Elle Mag's cover??!!
