soft-mad-children-deactivated20: You're basically the epitome of the opposite of female empowerment.

I’m sorry you feel that way. Yet, I don’t understand why my aversion for rudeness and vulgarity is in any way disempowering. My blog promotes self-confidence, happiness, and embracing oneself, as well courtesy, style, and grace. I don’t see why that’s necessarily a bad thing.

And what exactly is female empowerment? Because your comment is implying that it isn’t in any way feminine - and femininity defines my blog and my beliefs. I can be powerful in any way I choose, and if I happen to choose to be a lady, that doesn’t make me any less powerful than someone who isn’t.

  2. ishouldinfinitelypreferabook said: Wow. Didn’t she just post “You’re allowed to make the first move”? If that’s not female empowerment, what is?
  3. fyeah-sarah said: I dont feel there is anything wrong with having manners and acting like a real lady. May be part of the reason chivalry is pretty dead. ladies need to act like ladies.
  4. sassymccoy said: I think our commenter has failed to realize that being feminine does not have to equate to being weak.
  5. carryonmywaywardangel said: If being rude, vulgar, and crass is right, well, I want to be wrong!
  6. dad-isms said: …I love how female empowerment means FEMINISM. Gender exists for a reason. This is a very typical response from male energy females. Why they don’t just glom onto the other 95% of tumblr that supports “anything goes” minus class is beyond me?
