Illa-Scriptor — why i call myself 'feminist'

Description i am a woman
but sometimes i think
i am still just a girl
because i'm not ready
to be a woman.

because being a woman,
so i've heard,
means wearing makeup
and being thinner
and spreading my legs
and shaking my ass.
it's what they expect
of a woman.

so unless i change my image
and become a sex object
i'm not a woman?
so i've heard.
i'd rather stay just a girl.

but i've heard some say
that being a woman
                                  is

                                        different.

and it involves
dreams and
vision and
passion and
intellect and
a desire for something more.

I am this kind of woman.
and I am proud of it.

You arguing men want an attractive woman is like me arguing every woman wants a man that looks like Chris Hemsworth. You can be a women without being sexy or attractive. Nobody said you had to do the things you described.

I just want to say that your art is stupid and ugly. 

You should go check out Shikeyy 's art because he's like really good and makes tons of sexual, creatively vulgar and misogynistic paintings of women! Also check out his journal where he rants and wishing rape was legal and how no women like him!  

(Ps: It just crossed my mind that you might think that I'm actually the real Shikeyy whose making ads to give myself more pageviews and favorites for some reason ? But I'm totally not.   That would be a waste of time so don't worry about it! I don't care who sees my porn!)

Hey, it's really rude to denounce somebody else's art and try to advertise someone else's, especially in one breath.

I wouldn't think 'mild vulgarity' at all. I think you have made an eyewateringly poignant point, and placing it so straight, as it were, shows it for what it is without pretention.
I this.

I would also submit though, that it is possible to be sexy without being a mere sex object. And then anyone gazing with shallow eyes who would mistake one for a mere sex object when they are in fact more would of course be missing out.

Beauty exists in many forms though, no need to conform to anyone else's perception.

Oh, I know that. I do cosplay Tifa, after all, and I'm planning Faye Valentine for next year.

Thank you though.

You don't happen to mean Faye Valentine from the shower scene do you?

Or you know, if you have trouble making the costume, you could always just...

nvm, I'll stop now >_>

*runs away, hoping she doesn't have any of the shooty parts of the costume*

XDD Thanks for the suggestions, Troop. I'll make sure to keep them in mind.

Just to be clear, the shooty parts was not a suggestion, I was not suggesting that you should have anything capable of shooting, even if it is harmless. >_>
