just my thought from today (Saturday, actually)

When I was a girl, I learned to pose

And to be docile, sweet, graceful
it was the image that was portrayed for me over and over by my nanny, the television.
But now, I have noticed, girls want to dance.
And I wonder about that, and I realize that women were not presented back then when I was a child in the same manner as they are presented to young girls today:
(try enlarging screen and turning up volume in bottom tab)
Women are in motion now, and girls want to emulate that...
not pose
they want to be sexy
not graceful
ALL HAIL THE MACHINE THAT IS SPEARS, I LOVE YOU BRITNEY AND I HOPE THAT IN 10 YEARS YOU RULE THE WORLD
and what do I think about that?
I think it is feminist.
I think that I wish I had this kind of education growing up.
I think it is one more step to the day when women regain control of this society.
I think this need to dance and strut is acceptable.
Why?
Because these girls are clued in early enough to utilize the power that society has been harnessing for quite some time.
I have dancing in my blood, but I stopped doing it in public because it drew too much attention my way.
It was not within my grasp to know what that meant.
Today, girls know what it means to command the room with movement.
They know what I know now, and that is progress, because I am 36, and not 16.
I like the power I see in these dances. I like the movement and the absence of the docile pose.
What I have learned in my time here, is that all men want their mothers.

hence the popularity of breast implants. Big boobs yield preferential treatment, boobs are a symbol for mommy.
And authority, this is another trait of the mother.....
Men do not want to be in control of the home or the shopping or the finances or any of the decisions unless they involve technology.
And I do not say this to slight the gender, because I do not think it is a slight, just a simple observation. Now I am saying this of straight men, I do not know the score on gay men... I do not think that gay men are the same exact gender as straight men, and I don't know much but I do know that they like big boobs too.
So, if men don't really want to be the ones in charge, and if women don't really want to be tame, why not turn the table?
I guess that replacing posing with dancing is one in a series of many steps.
We are no longer sex objects, we are sex moving.
Well, we might as well pick up the authority and take up the slack in the reigns. Men want a women to be loving and kind, tender but firm and always to lead the way, they want us to teach them, but we have yet to understand that fact.
Men do not want sparkle diamond shine lipgloss or maximum lash lengthening (is that even a word?) mascara.
Men do not mind wiggles and shakes, they like the dance, and are entranced by the dance. But men do not want to shelter and protect and be the shoulder to lean on. men do not want a small waif-ish Olsen twin who will sit and twitter, or pose.

Or try to vamp.....

When I see little girls emulate Beyonce or Britney Spears, I do not shake my head. And I have thought about this all day long....
I am proud of our new little generation.
Let's just hope they do not turn into a lot of Medeas.
**is it just me or does Madge look like she is taking a crap in the woods? Sticky maybe, but sweet...?

OK, there's a lot here I want to comment on, but I've got class in 45 minutes. Damn it anyway.
And why'd you have to pick beyonce? Ugh. I think she's as bad as that Madge down there.
In the words of Ahnold...I'll be back. :D

yeah, i had the new britney spears video posted too (ultra hard to find) and the spears camp found it and pulled the plug.
I picked Beyonce because her body moves like mine and I like to watch her dance. I also figure she is pop on top right now and that is what is being presented
"let me let me lemme upgrade you grade you."
thanx for keeping me company over here, i am pulling on a deadline for school right now.
See ya Ahnold :)

i disagree. i saw beyonce do that same gig above on the american music awards and it was hawt hawt hawt. her nekkid is a lot better than madges nekkid. madonna makes me hurl.
beyonces got those big ass thighs and it is no problem. mage reminds me of an underfed chicken. too friggin stringy.

well, don't be so impressed with their new dance techniques, because it isn't real.
Latest craze is for the dancer(s) to dance in slow motion to the music playing in slow motion, and when it all gets bumped up to speed, it looks as if the dancers are way energetically talented and healthy specimens.
If you like the 'womanizer' theme, there's so many uncopyrignted versions of it on you tube you could lose your balance just trying to walk through them.
About the 'all men' remark, though.
Wrong.
Personally, I'de like a gal with a lil less up top, a few pounds lighter in the fanny, and some brains for a change.
A gal that can hold her own in a game of chess would be grand!

I'm just not a fan of any of these pop queens -- don't watch them, don't listen to them.
Beyonce may eventually be able to match madonna's ability to continually reinvent herself, but I don't think they can sing, they sure can't act, I don't see them doing anything much that I appreciate outside of singing/ acting, and I don't think either one of them is really hot. Of course, my body doesn't move the way either of theirs does, so maybe I'm just jealous. ;)
And I'm not sure what I think about the concept of what beyonce does equaling feminism. Not saying I disagree, just that I need to think about it more first.
And I'm working on school deadlines from the other side...the brain dead professor who will be reading about 75 papers over the next few days and grading final exams next week. Ugh.
Good luck!
