Get Your Tits Out Julia!

The above clip is of an Australian politician Penny Wong and her response to being interrupted and ‘meowed’ at by the another male politician. Most responses I have seen to it have been a ‘Hell Yeh Sister’ and ‘You Go Girl’ type stuff. But the clip has sparked something else in me.
 
Rather than enforcing their ignorant man crap by meeting them with aggressiveness, I would have SO enjoyed seeing these guys get a death stare and a coy knowing smile for being such immature little boys, (or even her responding with a ‘WOOF’ right back and moving on) Penny Wong is an out and proud lezbian and her whole way of being in the world appears quite masculine and I get that, I don’t have a beef with her. But this video and the sexist debates that have sparked really made me think…

Where ARE the SEXY feminine politicians?

I imagine it would be a fucking hard job being a woman in politics, but i’m hanging out for a woman who comes into parliament being not only intelligent and knowing her shit, but also really owning her feminine, sexiness. When I say feminine I’m referring to the feminine qualities of sensuality, receptiveness heart, joy, humor, play etc. While masculine qualities and more about directness, discernment, clarity, control and focus (these qualities are not gender specific but often are)
David Deida speaks of different ways the masculine and feminine manifest which can be seen everywhere, particularly in history.

In the 50′s for example we were very much in strict masculine and feminine roles. Men went off to work while women stayed home cooking apple pies. Men ruled, women served. Then in the 60′s the sexual revolution exploded and women have since worked very hard for equal rights and a level playing field, particularly in the workplace. They burnt their bras and took the ‘If you can do it, so can I” attitude which is very true and necessary in some respects. But what we also did was deny a massive part of our nature and femininity, and in some respect, women became men.

We see this still today – most top business women, lawyers and politicians, are often hardcore masculine in behavior at work; with their power suits and cropped hair they are constricted and serious. I’m not saying women should get back to the kitchen, but what I’m asking is, is the armor really necessary? Is it imperative that we behave in a masculine way in order to get ahead? Do we have to wear unflattering clothes and hide away our femininity and sexuality to be respected?

I believe the next level we are ready for is that women in power can be intelligent, respected AND in their feminine, sexiness. A woman who knows she has a brilliant mind but also revels in being a woman, in her breasts, her playful beauty, her pussy power. That being a woman IS different and special. A woman who can calmly stand above all of the immature patriarchal residue that still creeps in trying to suppress and demean, knowing full well the powerhouse that she is.
 
Hm, Maybe I’ll become a politician..
