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
