On my mind.

Today we had an assembly dealing with a charity beneficiary at school.

When a woman connected to the organization came to give a speech, the two guys behind me were like "Is she hot?... Oh. No. Definitely not."

It made me really angry, seeing as I'm pretty much done reading Girl Power, the book Tavi always talks about on Style Rookie (which is the reason I got it in the first place). The book is about feminism and music starting in the nineties, to give a really short review, because you can find them anywhere if you google the book or look at Tavi's blog.

Then, while my class was brainstorming fundraiser ideas, this girl said,

"We could make sweatpants that say 'Bear Bottoms' on the butt!"
(This is a play on words dealing with the organization, the bear thing isn't too random)

I mean, come on! Why objectify yourself like that? Women are so much farther than that now! No wonder women aren't taken seriously and just portrayed as objects! Then people told me to "settle with my feminism." Everyone knows only the girls will be the ones wearing them, the guys will just ogle at the sexual reference. And those sweatpants they are talking about are the ones that are so baggy and elastic at the waist and ankles that girls wear halfway down their bums with spandex shorts underneath and Uggs or fringed boots, so that would have been horrific anyway.

Another girl also wanted to make our logo on the Playboy bunny.
I don't even think I have to say any more.

Wow, that was a total rant. Anyway. Here are some looks from the collections that I think are awesome woman clothes, that are "I'm a beautiful woman in control of my life and confident" not "I'm a sexy girl who just wants guys to like her and who will do whatever they want to feel awesome" or whatever (I guess you can insert another cliché here).

This one is from the Prada collection (look 4). It's very "look at my awesome lady body because it's beautiful, but I'm wearing it to work because I have a brain"

This is Louis Vuitton (look 19). Top is conservative, bottom not so much. Showing, yet not everything, because that is boring.

This is Jil Sander (look 35) . I like that it is loose yet still alluring. Refreshing I guess is the word.

Oh, I don't know. Maybe this whole post sounds like a cliché, but I mean it sincerely.
