I definitely think feminine dress...Thanks Valerie,<br /><br />I definitely think feminine dress says something about what you do for a living and the role you have in society. Some may find this unfair, but I deal in reality not fantasy ideals. Thanks for your visit :)Goldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09635386804709742950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788247236906826630.post-16329575068458901532016-11-04T17:16:45.857-04:002016-11-04T17:16:45.857-04:00Well said! There was a time when African-American ...Well said! There was a time when African-American women projected a very feminine image, just as their white counterparts did. In a way, after slavery ended, it was the black family's way of saying that their women aren't workhorses and they deserve to be treated as ladies also. I see no reason to throw that away. <br /><br />Incidentally, feminine dress is frequently more flattering to a woman's body, of any race, than clothes that are a) loose and sloppy or b) so tight they look painted on. <br /><br />Looking forward to getting into your blog.Valerie Jacksonhttp://www.offkilterbiblestudies.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788247236906826630.post-32221068773396063182016-11-04T10:10:57.281-04:002016-11-04T10:10:57.281-04:00Just be careful that you are making changes for yo...Just be careful that you are making changes for yourself and not to defy a stereotype. Regardless of what you do people will still view you through that stereotype if that is their mindset. I use to feel the way you do years ago, yet much has changed for me. One of the things that came from that experience is feeling like I was in the strait jacket of femininity. Now, I am my fullest complete self without the world dictating how I am suppose to be. That means I soft, hard, feminine, masculine, smart, loud, quiet, ect. I've experienced rage and vulnerability, have displayed my mechanical skills and slayed in dresses and makeup. In other words, I was and still am, myself. So unless you are trying to attract a very specific type of man, which I totally understand and more power to you, being yourself is sometimes the most revolutionary act, especially for black women.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784166474791838533noreply@blogger.com
