womanhood

Lumiére is a girl in jeans.

Who can say to be a woman? Is one with genitals of a woman, those outside and inside body with hormonal functions of a woman and bodily cycles of a woman.

Personally I very much like women who speak their minds and stick to what they think is right. What comes to what sex we feel we are we should be is the agony of contemporary people who have endless desires and needs that must be fulfilled. Well, you are the sex you are born to, this I agree with. Whether transgender people and transsexuals feel they are more women than women normally I want to ask what is more woman than a woman? How dare you diminish womanhood of anybody who is born female. Is sexuality the most ruling characteristic in being human, something to be altered, something to parade and compete with, something to constantly go through and be traumatized with, something that you can build with plastic surgery if you have the money. You can make a scene of yourself, a fabrication and an act of being a woman. When womanhood is clothes and makeup, maneuvers of extravaganza and theatrical flamboyance to show off to be the most feminine you can be what are you other than a pose and fake. To be more than a woman is someone who also is a man, that is two sexes in one body at least. Figure out a new name for that sex, won’t you and be proud of that creation without imitation. Germaine Greer has right to her opinions. She is not violating anybody. To be able to tolerate difference is something transgender people should obviously learn.

www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/10/men-talk-about-periods/411931/ “ In one 2011 study, researchers asked a group of college-aged men to describe how they had learned about menstruation. The responses had a few common themes, the authors observed: The men had largely picked up snippets of knowledge from female family members and, later on, girlfriends, but by and large were still fuzzy on the basic mechanics of the female reproductive system. “Boys’ early learning about menstruation is haphazard,” the researchers wrote. “The mysterious nature of what happens to girls contributes to a gap in boys’ knowledge about female bodies and to some negative views about girls.””

Men have vaginas.

Title to a school essay: My religion good religion.

I believe men have vaginas and women can impregnate men. Men have uteri (man can have uterus), breasts, periods, mood swings, emotions, as we all, and need to share their emotions and thoughts. Women have penises and need to be powerful and strong pillars of society. Women are intellectually as capable as men are emotionally open. Men are able to reproduce like women, bear children, take care of them, nurture and love their children, take care of their families and of their households in a same way as women without it being an issue. In this way by having the same bodily functions and organs men can understand women and children, women can understand men. Men can place themselves into position of those who need support and love, understand those who are dependent on them as adults, parents and as companions. As men can get pregnant too, population of the world is increasing by far too fast, but as nature has made it, it is essential for creating a mental connection between the sexes, connection which is being made via bodily similarities, though I am not sure why gender differences matter in this case anymore, we are the same body. It is a whole different world where reproduction, sex, periods and all of sexuality is openly discussed and problems are immediately solved. There are no taboos and women are strong leaders. People can decide whether they have kids, families or concentrate on other things in their lives. Therefore in this case, because we fully understand each other’s needs, desires, beliefs, goals, expectations and emotions of others, world is a peaceful and equal place. It is a ready-made perfection, unity and a paradise for people who equally have menstrual circulation, for people who get pregnant as equally, who learn to share and respect life and difference from very early on.

Men’s fears towards femininity that breathes outside regulated cocooned womanhood. What is a woman?

She left her panties and other underwear on the floor without thinking much who would see them as she does with all her clothes, dropping them off liking to watch them herself as constellations of random and a day; cotton, lace and strings, used, changed, private creatures which a minute ago were pressed against her body and let loose. Memory of a cloth has parts of her form. What is so disgusting about it she does not understand but tries maybe that is what she likes because she has to be pure and clean to be liked. She does not leave her clothes on the floor to stay there for weeks but just for a moment, she is not that disturbed.. It is a moment of absent-mindedness, carelessness and something of herself she likes to examine, her relationship to all. It is that she does not behave like she should behave well-mannered especially when she is alone. There are windows, anybody can see in. She malfunctions and is dislocated in places like arms, in places that are sterile and in perfect order and under control that nothing breathes there, like finding perfection in death. Demand for sterile body is against life’s natural flow, decay and against nature in her, her dirtiness, her will and her femininity that smells. Why are you so horrified but you still want to barge in, invade her and her privacy to watch her wrongness to blame her and accuse her for her being wrong not being like a norm of the civilised. Do you lack something when you do that or is it just power you like over her? Do you notice what you lack? Act of curious and wish to speak about what an abomination she is. What did she do? Fears of men have become fears of women fulfilling stripped and solid perfection to be admired. We are raised to think superiority is sterile environment just as a superior race would be. Shame of what did she do. Shame that is experienced because of her, for her and what she is.

Local perceptions on human value, worth and dignified life. Human value decided locally, how curious. It is not universal?

Bang! [Son of a terrorist whore, daughter of a whore, what a whore, you filthy whoring bitch, idiot!]. Calling names, naming, giving a ‘title’ to a person, to define someone by verbal hurt to state power over, for those who are listening and to the subject himself/herself, disgracing sex, gender, tradition, family, ethnic background, country as a whole, what else is new. Placing countries in line and people, comparing, competing. What will come of this type of talk, of this competition? Learning prejudice by what adults talk, who they hate and not(to know why?), how they act, watch and move, power of examples. How to show emotions or do we have other than the negative ones to give. To have emotion other than negative to show, what a challenge, but yes anger can be shown, expressed everyday, but can you be clever in anger. Anger needs to be managed, creatively put to work.

What kind of power do given names entail and what kind of place naming gives in society, unhealed scars. What it is meant to do, beat someone down on the ladder, to worthlessness. Do names hold secrets, truths or plain violence, shaming, pointing a finger. How is a person put to shame suppose to feel and continue living, after maybe years of listening to, being told what one is by people who do not know you.

To take one’s place in society. Is it taken or given? Or to define social place, what is it. Does it have to be defined, defined for purposes of whom. Well for me for instance I need the definition to understand the mess of people. 

Mess in them and creations by them in messes, by that inner messiness, outer trouble. Me included.
