3 Feminism:
“Are
you a feminist”? Is the first question that is fired at me when I tell anyone
that I am running a women’s organization. Considering the negative connotation
that this word has (thanks to all those bra burners), I quickly assure them I
am not. But I am really one in the true sense. Feminism is about freedom of
choice and I have always made my own decisions about what I want in life.
Feminism does not mean an anti-men policy. Nor does it mean militancy. It means
retaining the qualities that make women different and dignified like
compassion, caring and nurturing and magnanimity. It means an interdependent
spirit that acknowledges everyone’s contribution to development of self and
society. It means an awareness of ones role as a woman and a mature approach to
that. It means respecting ones mind and body and expecting others to do the
same. It means sending out the right signals about yourself so that no one
messes around with you! Here are some interesting definitions of feminism by
women:
-
Having
the right to decide what is right for ME.
-
Women
not afraid to live by their own standards.
-
It
means not making a woman my enemy.
-
I
am a woman and want to be treated as such and so I act and look like a
woman…simple!
-
Choices,
backed by the law, and respect
-
Living
my life in exactly the way I want.
Long live feminism.
3 Flirting:
Flirting
is feeling so good about yourself that
you give out the glow to other people. Which makes them feel good and draws
them irresistibly towards you-well, if it is an innocent as that, it is fine. I
stumbled upon a Flirt Coach and Flirt Academy! So obviously it is a skill that
needs honing and there are people out there who have professionalized it. A
young man, who confesses his hobby is flirting, says that the woman he flirts
with have confided that he has helped their self esteem as they feel special
and want to look good. But here one must be careful not to let it become a
messy affair. If flirt you must, there are a few guidelines worth remembering.
-
Choose
your flirting partner carefully in that she/he is on the same wavelength.
-
Send
out the right signals so your target knows your intentions are just to flirt.
-
Keep
emotions out. Love and marriage don’t figure in this.
-
Have
interesting views for conversation-intelligent flirting has class!
-
Never
flirt with colleagues in the office
-
Sex
has no place in a flirting game.
-
Please
spare married men/women unless you do it before the spouse who is a sport
