ClueChick: real clues from a real chick

Today is Blog Against Sexism Day, which is another one of those silly little invented days that I love. Actually, it's the ones like this that I like over the absurdity of Hallmark holidays. But blogging against sexism is basically what I do every day. After all, the patriarchy thinks that women should be barefoot and pregnant, keeping dinner warm for their men. I, on the other hand, think that women should wear whatever shoes give them the most traction whilst grinding up against the hot fling of their choice, practice safer sex to avoid pregnancy, and pick up sushi (to be eaten cold, of course) with their dates.

I'm rather fond of comfortable shoes, actually, but I had a fellow recently suggest to me that I might look into a pair of fuck-me shoes. I've never really gone in for super high heels, anyway, because I feel silly tottering around in them, but he pointed out that if I'm doing a lot of walking in them, I've probably done something wrong. I laughed and went on my way, but the idea has been planted in my head. Hmm. Fuck me shoes. I like the idea of red ones, with a strap around the ankle.

But I digress. Since not all of my readers have blogs in which to blog against sexism today, I suggest that you all go have some hot sex against sexism instead. I'm certainly hoping to do some of that, myself. But here's why having sex is a political move:

Once upon a time (today), a woman could get stoned for having sex with whomever she pleased. Not all that long ago, sex was far more tightly tied to procreation than it is today, and our newfound reproductive freedoms allow both women and men more opportunities to engage in recreational sex without involuntarily involving a fetus-to-become-a-person. Women practicing their sexual power are, even in the US, radicals who upset the balance of sexist power. Men hooking up with these women are aiding in the overturning of traditional expectations.

So, go out, have some fun, and shake loose the bounds and expectations that the patriarchal tradiiton tries to force on all of us. And, now that I think of it, if you want to blog about it, write it into a comment here!
