I am reading...

a great book entitled "Tori Amos, Piece by Piece" and so far its has being a wonderful read. It's amazing to dive into the mind of a woman such as her, a true Feminist, a "follower of the Magdalene" as she calls herself.

This is woman that since the age of five she managed to stand out of the crowd not only by her geniality on the piano, but also by her ideas and her humble way of seeing music.

I dare to call her a true Feminist ‘coz she glorifies womanhood, she knows that in order to be a Feminist she has to find the balance between what she calls “Mary” (the mother) and “The Magdalene” (the lover, the wisdom, the light, the power), she has to reunite what has being thorn apart by history since the sprout of Patriarchy and monotheism.

Most women that I know claim to be Feminist all they do is to act like total bitches toward men. Trying, by loosing/denying sensuality or tenderness, to seize power. I invite all those women that think that being a Feminist means to be better that men or that a Feminist is a woman that doesn’t wear a bra or has hairy armpits, to read this book.

Man… the world would be such a lovely place if we could achieve the level of balance that Tori proposes instead of living our lives chasing baby demons.

    I like that.. that's what feminism is supposed to be about, about equilibrium..
    That'd be nice to have, but for being honest, I don't really like that this way of thinking is called "feminism".. it should just be the way of living..
