logovo1¿Dia internacional de la mujer? Buena razón para mencionar estas citas de una de mis mujeres preferidas, una feminista odiada por feministas y un terror con patas, Camille Paglia.
***
A woman simply is, but a man must become. Masculinity is risky and elusive. It is achieved by a revolt from woman, and it is confirmed only by other men. Manhood coerced into sensitivity is no manhood at all.
***
Every man must define his identity against his mother. If he does not, he just falls back into her and is swallowed up.
***
If civilization had been left in female hands we would still be living in grass huts.
***
It is capitalist America that produced the modern independent woman. Never in history have women had more freedom of choice in regard to dress, behavior, career, and sexual orientation.
***
Men know they are sexual exiles. They wander the earth seeking satisfaction, craving and despising, never content. There is nothing in that anguished motion for women to envy.
¿Y el mensaje final que tome de esta mujer? Gracias hombres por crear esta civilización. Gracias por el arte, gracias por las ciencias, leyes y el sistema en el que ser fuerte fisicamente no es lo mas importante. Gracias, porque han creado un mundo en que no soy dependiente de hombres, donde soy mas que un útero, donde yo controlo si tengo hijos o no y donde ser mujer no es ser propiedad. Gracias y con-permisito, que lo mejor todavía esta por verse.
