Anyone who embraces one’s femininity is brave because being feminine in every day is seen dangerous and inviting.
Dear diary: This is my experience on the matter of being feminine which I am without much effort and which I sadly have felt i have had to hide because it attracts attention I do not want and to be feminine is of course inconvenient when doing art especially sculpting, which is funny. It is an imitation, camouflage and forgetting one’s outer self to find the correct way of being and doing art. I stopped using mini skirts and heels when I went into art, dove into the world of macho art and the doing art as work. Appearance comes second when one does work that is all consuming, but as I have learned it has a significant meaning. That is why I resent that my appearance is more important. I place my work first. I wish others would do the same. My gender and appearance are issues at work always and always.
Therefore I have decided to embrace my femininity again and bring it on. What does it even mean to be feminine? Or to have too much feminine look? Is all about the look?

”Sometimes it seems that we have learned nothing about inclusion from our troubled past. In 1969, NOW president Betty Friedan called lesbians “the lavender menace.” She believed that including lesbians in feminist activism would undermine popular opinion of the women’s movement. In response, Gloria Steinem rightfully said, ”Feminism isn’t a PR campaign, it’s a revolution.” Numerous groups and factions rose up to challenge the women’s movement’s exclusion of and hostility toward lesbians. Current feminist response to trans and gender non-conforming people carries with it horrifying echoes of those old wounds.”

Human beings become objects, objects to extinguish or to provide carnal gratification. The widespread casual and frenetic sex in wartime often crosses the line into perversion and violence. It exposes the vast moral void.”
What kind of personnel and students universities have? Is there a pattern?
As it seems to me questioning and jeopardizing status quo make those who dare unfriendly and unwanted, meaning that there are things somehow perfect that are offered to the students on a platter to kindly eat and be grateful. There will be hurt feelings when those offerings are strongly objected and quality of teaching is critiqued. Please do understand if you are a teacher: it is your job to make people think for themselves. Students’ intellect and abilities are continuously underestimated. People are treated as if they were youngsters who were born yesterday. Quality feedback is difficult to get, which would mean actually being interested in students’ work, thoughts and progress. But as it goes research is more important that teaching, this is what we get and it should be praised. What is there to praise in a system that does not want to evolve because it thinks it is perfect? What kind of education do we get in a system that has such high opinion of itself hiring airheads instead of intellect?

Am I so used to sexism in movies that James Bond (from Russia with Love) sexism strikes me only as funny relic, which is true today of course (has not gone anywhere), and is more sad kind of funny than something that should be taken very seriously (as it should) or is it the concept of James Bond that makes it acceptable to perceive women as targets of male sexual fantasy, fuckable or not fuckable because the main character is good-looking, athletic, cosmopolitan who has adventurous and again seductive job, so sexism is fine and funny in this case? Women characters are highly caricatured in Bond movies either ugly, evil and old or beautiful, young, dangerous, sexual, open to harassment and suggestions and seductive in the fashion of the time. It can be easier to accept such subtle and seductive manner of playing sexism because in real life I am so up-to-here that my response is always immediate and aggressive. One can be pushed just as far as to the edge and you should not push me further.
It can be difficult to judge a man who is in continuum saving the world. Women are offered to him and offer themselves to him because he turns all on. Hedonism of James Bond is appealing and is easy to like a good-looking hedonist who enjoys beautiful things. Women come and go. Attachment is too much to take in his spying business.
