42. When real performance and efforts mean nothing, What is the ONLY power women can claim?

Edited on Fri Apr-30-10 09:09 AM by BlancheSplanchnik

Showing tits and ass....the only way we seem to get noticed, as you pointed out.

The result is, many women try to get a feeling of control in their lives through the one avenue they see open to them -- sexuality -- which is self-defeating and diminishes us all.

Because female role models of real accomplishment are consistently ignored, we ALL live our lives with a deep impression that women do and contribute very little, that there are no exceptional individuals, aside from the exceptionally beautiful.

This is harmful to women. Very damaging.
