“My dad treated me like a boy because he grew up with four brothers. He didn't baby me. He was never, like, "You're a girl, you can't do this." I never felt like I had to put a feminine spin on anything, I just wanted to do what the boys did as good or better.” GirlBoysBrotherLike YouBabyDadMy DadFeminine Author:Kid Sister
“People might not agree with me, but I think a woman should have a feminine shape, something you can get your hands on.

“In my life, I don't wear makeup, I don't care about any of the trappings of the "feminine," or how I look in photographs. To me, it's irrelevant, which I think is really shocking to people in the industry that I'm in, because it's like, "You should always look good", but I honestly don't care. It's not important to me.” PeopleThinkingShouldLooksImportantCareLike YouIndustryPhotographDon't CareHonestlyI Don't CareMakeupFeminineIrrelevantShocking Author:Margaret Cho

“Basically what Salomé did with Rilke as a mentor was direct him toward the Russian Orthodox Church, so he could project his love of the divine feminine onto the Virgin Mary. She wanted him to stop the cycle of being disappointed by the ultimate humanity of women. She was like, "You don't want me, you want the Virgin Mary." It's kind of a mystical concept! She also changed Freud's opinion, a little bit too late, about the female psyche, which he had so wrong. If it had been better publicized, it would have changed Western society's perception of the female psyche, too.” IfsWantKindLittlesWantedHumanityBitsChurchOpinionChangedDivineLike YouProjectsLatePerceptionLittle BitConceptsFemaleDirectUltimateWesternToo LateCyclesOrthodoxFeminineDisappointedWant MeMaryMentorMysticalVirginsHis LoveVirgin MaryDivine FeminineWestern SocietyBeing DisappointedOrthodox Church Author:Laura Marling
