The Halloween paradox (woman's right to choose)

              Tight bodied, walking penial tombs engulf the side walks and dirt roads of America, in search of candy and Macbeth type Hell-brew... power... an unconscious pussy revolution... "the one time of the year I get to just let loose" says  some bobble headed blond Smurfette, followed by a Wikipedia type soliloquy on the back ground and origins of smurf lore... I turned and prodded her logic a bit... asking, "what it was the network was trying to instill in little boys and girls of the generation that grew up watching a women's struggle in an all male dominated society"... she reply's, "Smurfette was created by Gargamel"... "to which" I said, "brings us to the next point. Why is it, that the only female character represented was created by the most evil character represented, and, her only savior from a life of sexual slavery was another man?" "I mean, don't you think it's kind of dumb that if he made one Smurf, couldn't have made a bunch, you know, to eat, since he wanted to eat smurf's" I stood there gawking for a second... the evolution of the conversation stopped and became extinct...I shouted, "PROBABLY!" and walked away... she had no idea what I was trying to get at, or the meaning behind what she had said originally... Where is the conversation anymore ... Here we are .. amidst a sexual revolution against censorship and for freedom of creative control!!!  Right?.... I start walking and thinking about a cartoon I once saw in which a lady in a bikini and a lady in a burqa passed each other and had the same thought,  a long the lines of ... "everything covered but her eyes... what a cruel, male dominated culture... to which... nothing covered but her eyes (sunglasses) what a cruel, male dominated culture...Maybe I just gave her too much credit ... maybe this IS the only time of year she gets to pump her cervix full of sperm... And that is the heart of it... living up to societal standards will always keep women in a exploited box... I guess for now... it's good that she was just doing exactly what she wanted.... when she wanted... on the one day she can do it with out being called a whore by myriads of housewives and mothers of daughters not yet old enough to trick and treat.... the continual cog of recycled morals and sexual strategies will forever be in motion... Wives will always hate baited eye candy prancing in front of their half erected husband of 20 years... and mothers will always call, scantly dressed, successful dick hunters, whores in front of their daughters to set a precedent... so lady's understand that guys are just simple cocks looking for a home... maybe the lack of feminism is more internal than you think...."   Her development, her freedom, her independence, must come from and through herself. First, by asserting herself as a personality, and not as a sex commodity. Second, by refusing the right to anyone over her body; by refusing to bear children, unless she wants them; by refusing to be a servant to God, the State, society, the husband, the family, etc., by making her life simpler, but deeper and richer. That is, by trying to learn the meaning and substance of life in all its complexities, by freeing herself from the fear of public opinion and public condemnation. Only that, and not the ballot, will set woman free, will maker her a force hitherto unknown in the world, a force for real love, for peace, for harmony; a force of divine fire, of life-giving; a creator of free men and women." - Emma Goldman
