Femininity, in fact, can’t even be practiced without stuff (which is one way of debunking the argument that it is an inherited sex trait). It is simply not possible for a woman without makeup and deodorant and lingerie and kitten heels and diet pills and clothes without pockets and anti-wrinkle cream that promises “glowing skin” and self-help books explaining the best ways to suck up to men and jewelry and razors and tweezers and lemon-scented cleaning products and boxes of Lean Cuisine in the freezer — all stuff that must be bought — to be fully feminine.
Femininity — selling it, doing it, approving of it, pinking it, drinking it — is antifeminist, fool.
A place for me to talk about my writing, social issues, music, and whatever else catches my fancy.

Errr, I rrreaaally don't agree with that, but you know that already. :P
Deodorant is personal hygiene, and men use it too, but that other stuff you can live without and still be feminine. Or so I say.
