While we’re talking about Cynthia Nixon, how about her performance of the Camille Rainville poem “Be a Lady.” So much of what women face in society is predicated on such absolute rubbish. Be sexy, but not too sexy. Be smart, but not too smart. Blah blah blah. It’s exhausting and, quite frankly, boring. Women, in all of our multitudes, are so much more than what the tiny minds of the patriarchy could ever envision. And while you’re at it, fuck their binary. Be a lady however you like.
you were one of the first bloggers i knew and read back when i was starting my own blog in 2010. i happen to pass by your blog after i saw your url written on one of my old notebooks. it's amazing to see that your blog is still active! i wish you all the best and safety in this time of pandemic!
