Women have been defined by men in men’s terms until relatively recently but now that women are coming into their own both out in the workforce and as separate entities unto themselves, the question is, once you throw off the shackles of what it means to be a woman as defined by men all throughout history, what exactly is a women as the pure essence she is in her soul? Women are as complex and individual as men if they choose to be yet as simple and one-dimensional as the stereotypical caricatures if they choose to be too so women are women just like men are men. In modern society, a woman can be pretty well anything she wants but the problem, hypocrisy or contradiction with all of this is that despite all this talk about freedom and being who you are, beyond a superficial, glossy façade of store-bought trendiness, most women are no different than the woman of 30 years ago and have no desire to be.
