In an effort to stave off pouting because at least five of my people are in some warmer and/or exotic place at the moment, this is my Forced Happy Thought.
Reasons I'm Glad I'm a Girl - with #1 being the most relevant:
Reasons I'm Glad I'm a Girl - with #1 being the most relevant:
- social acceptance of the having of feelings
- genuine emotional closeness and open love of friends
- twirling in silk circle skirts
- giggling
- waltzing
- dancing
- swishing skirts when dancing
- swishing skirts when bounding down stairs
- bellydancing
- hoop earrings (every female's birthright)
- social standard of reliance upon dark chocolate
- witchy feeling when throwing in handfuls of root-y foods to make stew in big simmering pot
- having curves
- having smooth skin and minimal body hair
- being moved, in a good way, to tears...say, by beautiful violin/viola music
- romance
- green and peacock feathers
- red and magenta
- lushness
- once in a great while, feeling just a bit like the sunrise
- being able to say things like the above and only getting groans in response, rather than physically stomped
- pretending to be a gazelle when hopping over rain puddles
- bubble baths
- pedicures
- wearing certain shiny things, though attraction to shiny objects does make feel as if no better than a fish
- lots of hugs and kisses
- shameless snuggling
- sitting in window sills, remembering sweet things, and sighing

Hee hee: "...only getting groans in response, rather than physically stomped."
For the record, I think people of all genders should get to pretend they're gazelles.
At any time.
Hopping or not.
Sweet, youth and its idealism...
We ALL should be gazelles, though, you're right - freely prancing. The world could use more prancing.
Girls get all the good names---esp. those ending with a: Veronica, Isabella, Katerina, Emma, Julia, Sara, Melinda, Diana, Madonna, etc...
...Fiona, Cassandra, Anna...
