Kirsten Dunst Says For a Relationship to Work, 'You Need... A Woman to Be a Woman'

[xmas74]

98. I'm so proud.

Maybe she did get something from me. I'm a single mother who has raised her alone her entire life. It wasn't ideal by any means but it did teach her that she can't expect to have someone do it all for her-she has to be willing to do for herself. She's realized that she really can do what she wants if she works for it. She doesn't have to depend on someone to make her happy-she can make her own happiness and learn to share it with others.

And before anyone else says anything here (I know you won't but others might): I am NOT a man hater. I like men-very, very much. I like to be around them and I enjoy being in relationships with them, both as friends and as a romantic involvement. What I don't like is the thought of depending on someone for everything-financially, emotionally, what have you. I don't want someone to come along and rescue me. I want to be an equal partner.

(Oh, and since we know how commentators are on the internet: I am a very feminine-looking woman with these views. I'm petite, I love to do my hair and wear make-up, I'm a fan of hair removal and my personal style is what some would refer to as "twee" before it became a style-lots of fun little dresses and retro/vintage looking throwbacks. I like heels, hose and purses. In other words, feminists come in all different kind of styles and I think that some of our young women are finally learning that lesson.)
