I remember back in the late 80s and early 90s when third wave feminism was at a peak and many young women chose to dress very drably (a kind of uniform of boots, jeans and windcheaters), that there was a lingerie boom. I can remember surmising at the time that this was a hidden way to compensate for the overt masculinisation.<BR/><BR/>I generally agree with your argument. However, Ginia's piece does seem to go beyond the usual mantras of lipstick feminism.<BR/><BR/>She writes, for instance, of feminine grace and regality, and of a deference won by feminine rather than masculine qualities.<BR/><BR/>Ginia also defends a joyful attitude to dating and relationships, in contrast to competitive or combative relationships between men and women.<BR/><BR/>She may not be committing herself to the whole woman, but at least she's showing us part of a healthy womanhood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
