Woman Power

After doing some intensive research based on curiosity I stumbled upon many articles that talked about the “ideal woman.” The Rawness:human nature and sexual politics, even went as far as to post a how-to-guide to become the “ideal woman.” After reading many of these Articles I came to the conclusion that even though we, as women, have the right to vote and have the right to make our own decisions we are still being suppressed in a modernized misogynistic world. Why is it that women have to be the perfect house wife? Who the hell are these men trying to tell me that it's okay if a woman does her own thing but she also has to be able to manage the house work! Why is it that you, the men, don't want to get your hands dirty, you know what is you want a sandwich or a clean shirt why don't you make it or clean it your self? It baffles my mind that even as entertainers, the women can't get away with anything. Like Rihanna's recent S&M video, why is she getting so much bad publicity and attention for it? Is it because she is a woman who is stepping outside of the “ideal woman” boundary? She has a video, that yes although inappropriate for the younger audience, is perfectly appropriate for the song. The funny thing is that at the end of the day most of the people who criticize her for her “ inappropriate and Racy” video are blasting her music and singing along. Just because a woman decides to make a video or do something crazy and out there she has all the right to do so, and just because she does this it does not mean that she is a slut. But by all means, call us names and think we as women are trashy because that means that we have gotten into your head and you are taking the time out of your day to talk about the women who will no longer be suppressed, oh yeah you have just been kicked in the face by that woman power. Now go take your foot out of your mouth.
