We Are the Women

We want to be quirky, zingy, weird, and crazy Because interesting, exciting and enthusiastic sells. We want to be someone who is noticed or applauded. If we cannot have that, can we at least have one-of-a-kind? We want to be exasperating, conniving, mystical, and ethereal. Mystery surrounding us in a swirling orange cloud of joyous confusion. We are the world's women; we will have to be plain soon enough. After our children arrive, and we try to fit into society so they will too.

It is sad that our society almost demands "fitting in." Think how much creative energy is stifled because of that!!!!
