Wanna know the dumbest thing I've ever heard of? Girl Power. Feminism, as in we crush all barriers died, some other time when I was a baby. What happened then? Everyone got scared to be a feminist. Feminist were angry and unattractive. So some mediocre magazine editor decided feminisim needed remodeled into a marketable concept. Just what is up with girls, anyway.
It's something about being beautiful. That's what it is. We want to be happy, to be surrounded by boys who lend us their sweaters and girls who share their slurpee's, always with a party to go to, always with someone to call, and the way to do that is to be beautiful, right? That's what everyone tells us. We want to excel and achieve.
and I'm not saying boys are any better, they just have better luck. Guys can be crazy offbeat dreamers and everyone will like them more for it. Their supposed to be stubborn and rebellious. It's sexy when boys tell the world to go fuck itself. Example:( Sid Viscious, a dirty skinny bass-totter who made a career out of being offensive and bleeding on people. He's the twelfth most requested dead guy on the internet.)
But that kind of behavior is just not profitable for a girl. Look, they want our money, that's what this whole thing is about. Capitalism is the biggest house of mirrors in the world, because everyone is trying to tell us we "need" something. What we need to do is to perfect the skill of cash warfare. Don't buy shit. You know what shit is...Anything in print that is kind enough to tell you how to be perfect, and smart enough to show you a picture of what perfect is. Seventeen magazine is shit. Jane magazine is shit. The Girl Power movement is shit. So let's you and me not be targeted. We can be the big movement of women not buying shit. There's plenty of things to spend our money on..food, college, a kick ass bass guitar..
We do and can kick ass without being "pretty", and maybe in the distant future- like when we're seventy and sitting on top of the fortune we amassed in our youths by our inventive and roguish business instinct-society will have changed and we can date 20 year old models..but until then things are gonna be ugly...
Hey, we shall overcome, okay?
