Can Feminists Wear Lipgloss?

I'm your average teenage girl, who gets withdrawl symptons from her lipgloss, but wants to be a feminist.

Isn't it FUNNY?!

Sometimes I feel this blog is really hypocritical. Here's why...
Over the summer, you can drift apart from everyone. You suddenly realise you don't want to be a sheep, you want to be a feminist...Then it's back to school. Everyone going on about how fat they are, everyone wearing three inches thick of make-up, spending their days really stupidly. You think "why? They're all so pretty, why do they feel the need to compete with models??"
It's nearly rolled around to that time again, and now YOU'RE wearing the make-up, thinking how fat you are and thinking why bother in exams.
*sigh*
Regonize that? I sure do. So let's all take a DEEP breath. Done that? Now take off the make-up, go study, and stop complaining about fat you think you are.
If only if it were that simple. Facts are, it's SUPER hard to be a feminist in 2007. It's even harder when you're a teenage girl, going to school everyday, having to study your ass off so you can pass maths...Is it really any wonder it's so hard? I'm finding it harder and harder to be a feminist each day. But I think that's why it's so important to be one. So, maybe tomorrow I'll skip the foundation (ha! Maybe I'll just use less), not say ONCE how fat I think I am (and try not to eat any chocolate...because chocolate leads to saying "FAT!!! I'M SO FAT!!!"), and not complain about maths. I'll complain about Playboy, wondering why it's so popular.
I'll do a lot of thing, probably. But most of all...I'll try to be a feminist.
