"As high school approached, the boys wanted to kiss us and touch us, and the girls became a group of benevolent queens dispensing favors. The more the boys wanted us, the more powerful we became. When a girl chose to bestow her favors, the lucky boy was envied and celebrated. Slut shaming? What’s a slut?"
-Paulina Porizkova
This quote from a NYTimes op-ed by supermodel Paulina Porizkova took me, pleasantly, by surprise. I actually had to read it several times because it's a rather astonishing statement about the true nature of Female Power over males from a Woman who clearly 'gets' it.
That and, it was printed right there, in black and white, in the New York Times.
More and more women are getting this concept. It's only a matter of time now before the Patriarchy comes to it's knees, or should I say at her feet.
