Being a Woman Articles | Original Articles on Fanpop

Yesterday I slept and I dreamed I was a princess
I dreamed of the power of an educated woman
in the times of knights
And I don't mean what we used to do: embroidery, singing or drawing
no, but to that ancient art that barely lingers between us now,
to make man believe that he is the one who take the reins
We didn't have the freedom to be indomitable, but we have been secret.
We domed the king with kisses and planned alliances and revenge in our beds.
In my dream, my mother, the Queen, taught me to be gentle, to appear submissive but to be daring in secret as far as God would allow me.

My story..my life...

My story. The life of me…….

Hey everyone My name is addi ( addisyn) but I just like addi. I am 16 years old and I was born on January 1. I have 9 other brothers and sisters. I also have an identical twin. My life is very complicated, and I desided to share it with others who would like to hear. When I was young, I was raised to be strong, and to work my hardest, and never to give up. I was in gymnastics at the age of 6, cheerleading at the age of 6, swimming when I was 14, karate when I was 9, and dance when I was around 7. This was the dream for me! I loved what I did! My mom was a stay...

One Flaw In Women

One Flaw In Women

By the time the Lord made woman,
He was into his sixth day of working overtime.
An angel appeared and said,
"Why are you spending so much time on this one?"
And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic,
have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable
and able to run on diet coke and leftovers,
have a lap that can hold four children at one time,
have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart
-and she will do everything
with only two hands."

The angel was astounded at the requirements.
"Only two hands!?...

You are you. You came into this world for a purpose, and god has a plan and goal for you to achieve in life. Sometimes though its hard to find that one thing that god has put you down on earth for.

Spanish Class

posted by isabelle_905

Here’s another email guys! lol Enjoy!!

A Spanish Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. "House" for instance, is feminine: "la casa." "Pencil," however, is masculine: "el lapiz."

A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men's group decided that...

The Fanpop Gender Division

Calvin and Hobbes in their club GROSS: Get Rid Of Slimy girlS

So, hello, I’m Dragonclaws. I have a good-sized interest in gender equality and examining sexism and such. I’ve stumbled across these gender-related clubs about Being a Woman and Being a Man. Going from one to the other, specifically from Being a Woman to Being a Man, the stark difference is quite stunning. I find the differences between the two clubs to distinctly represent the cultural divide between the two gender groups, and as an extension to represent the forms of sexism developed by our society.

First of all, let’s examine the avatar used by each club. The avatar used to represent...

Dear Mr. Thatcher,

I have been a loyal user of your Always maxi pads for over 20 years, and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuard Core™ or Dri-Weave™ absorbency, I’d probably never go horseback riding or salsa dancing, and I’d certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature has to be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi...

A Constant Struggle: Feminism and Women's Rights in the Modern World

posted by Cinders

(c)Lisa Regna, A Write to Heal

"The mystery of our time is the inability of decent people to get angry."-- Eric Hoffer

I'm going to ask you a question right now, and you can feel free to answer honestly. Do you consider yourself a feminist?

After reading the responses to _lina_'s link, I decided to remind everyone here, particularly women in the western world, what feminism today is really about.

Modern women in Europe and North America enjoy a multitude of freedom that often goes underappreciated. Women today are afraid to call themselves feminists because of the negative stereotypes associated with that word. Before I talk...

This is mainly directed toward those who feel they are too small. I have no experiance with the other side of the issue.

I get somewhat annoyed and insulted when girls talk negatively about their small breast.
Girls wearing a size C think they're flat chested.. I always considered C to be large, but what do I know?

Girls cry over size B

Little girls saying "I'm worried about my body development. I'm 11 years old and I'm only a C cup"

I am small.. I've never come across anyone my age (20) of similar size or smaller than me and I'm not at all exaggerating. Everyone who I see complaining about their...

Taking A Woman To Bed

posted by isabelle_905

From an email I got.

TAKING A WOMAN TO BED

What is the difference between girls/woman aged: 8, 18, 28, 38, 48, 58, 68, and 78?

At 8 -- You take her to bed and tell her a story.

At 18 -- You tell her a story and take her to bed.

At 28 -- You don’t need to tell her a story to take her to bed.

At 38 -- She tells you a story and takes you to bed.

At 48 -- She tells you a story to avoid going to bed.

At 58 -- You stay in bed to avoid her story.

At 68 -- If you take her to bed, that'll be a story!

At 78 -- What story??? What bed??? Who the hell are you???

Female Chauvinism Versus the Majority of Modern Feminism

posted by Cinders

A long time ago, I wrote an article on link, and the misconceptions about not calling yourself a feminist. Since it was so long, I highly doubt that it was read by its target audience, so I'm going to keep this one very short.

I won't repeat myself on detailing all the different schools of feminist thought, especially because I doubt you're interested. Instead, let me just say this: Feminism is like many religions or philosophies. Just as one person who calls herself a Christian can have vastly different views and beliefs by another calling herself a Christian, the same can happen with feminism....

DR. ALICE von HILDEBRAND
On the Privilege of Being a Woman

January 14, 1997
New York Catholic Forum Lecture
- Simone de Beauvoir, in The Second Sex, wrote that women hate their bodies. Women are physically weaker, less clever, have less power and prestige. For men, procreation is a moment of physical ecstasy, whereas women suffer the discomfort of pregnancy and the agony of childbirth.

- Feminism is a metaphysical revolt against the characteristics of women. Men seem to have all the advantages, and so feminists try to become a caricature of men.

- Historically, women have been looked down on....

Dolling yourself up

posted by terhenetar

I have seen this somewhere, probably even in this club, “this” being the statement that the best thing about being a woman is the ability to doll yourself up. I must say that I have been completely confused. I cannot understand why anyone would willingly objectify themselves and see it as something to be proud of. And, before you ask, I am not talking about BDSM or any variation thereof, because sexual preferences of consenting adults are absolutely none of my business. :) What I have in mind is making a doll out of yourself on a daily basis. One more thing, I am not trying to belittle...
