Malicious femininity

squishes my toes

as I tug on the sides of my skirt and do that hip butt wiggle wiggle thing

was I supposed to be sultry today

or matronly

or capable like a man

willing?

vulnerable?

coquettish?

do I shake his hand

eye contact, firm grip

or merely tilt my head

relying my feminine nature

No, I didn't write this - I wish I did, but all credit goes to xx_starchild_xx on Live Journal. My comment on this piece?

Too true mate - too true!

I really love it 'coz it seems to sum up the conundrum that the modern woman faces. We can have it both ways - be independent and manly, or feminine and flirty/coy/capricious - whatever mood strikes us. Too bad it adds to the wardrobe problem - will I wear a skirt/dress/short with those sandals/boots/heels with that mood flirty/strong/independent/gentle/bubbly/corporate - the choices are endless!! 0.o
