Yours is not to question why, yours is just to admire :-D

Bruce was wondering if it's my birthday today hehe. You know when your clothes fit on a particular day and happen to look awright! together, you thank the Goddesses, and accept presents. Hehe. Do I want to be Libran, carrying the scales of justice, forever pondering on the fairness of the world? But I like Librans, they are kinda quirky :-P

Pondering on some of my beloved and esteemed women last night ... if only if only if only if only if only if only people (men!) could let women be! Let them run naked in the streets if they want to, assured that people (men!) respect the integrity of their persons and their bodies, secure that consent was a word people (men!) understood and are able to practice.

When women dress as they want and do as they want, it very often and most likely does not have anything to do with you... men. It might, if you're the one they want to attract (and we also have to deconstruct sometime why what is attractive is what is attractive) but you're not to assume that. You could ask. Politely and respectfully. For as long as you then believe whatever it is that she replies. But just because someone is sexy and attractive, it doesn't mean you can have your way! That you can do what you want, say what you want, because I suppose, in your mind, being a sexy and attractive woman is license for you to do something. Well, **** off! (this has suddenly turned into a parental guidance site! Just thinking about some men is enough to turn your musings into a rant!).

In the meantime, it really is a very unsafe world out there. If you're a woman, you're damned if you don't make yourself attractive (chaka manang old maid etc), and damned if you are (hottie babe slut promiscuous). So what are you supposed to be then, really?!

In the meantime, the dutiful Capricorn worries. But trusts that women will find the strength to somehow teach the world how they want to be treated... if they can stay alive till then.
