today

Today is the greatest day of your life
- Today, Smashing Pumpkins

…So says the song. But today is boring, seemingly endless and unreal – just like yesterday and the day before. I remembered someone’s question when we talked about passions and how we both have no idea what to do in our lives yet. She asked if we are wasting our time. I don’t really think so, besides it’s easy to conjure all sorts of explanation and excuses that the time seemingly wasted now is somehow important for lessons to be learned or experience and all that crap. But, times like these – of senseless wanderings, waiting time to pass – it seems like such a waste.

It’s a book written by Ariel Levy dealing about the raunchy culture prevalent in today’s women. To her it is like a blasphemy on everything feminism stood for. I get her point. It is stupid to dress suggestively with the actual word ‘slut’ on your shirt and being proud of it, demeaning yourself into acting and living the role suited perfectly to the macho ideals, the superficiality of that kind of social life, dumbing yourself to be ‘in’ … I don’t get it. I don’t get why there are girls flashing themselves on camera just to get a Girls Gone Wild shirt. These are not stupid girls, they just live it.

While the author would probably say it’s an outcry to feminism, there are those who claim it to actually be the third wave feminism.

While I’m far from judging anyone’s lifestyle and choices, especially those I do not understand… there is something here. I don’t even know which to agree with completely.

Oh well…
