The Passionate Woman and The Appeal of Partying
The Passionate Woman
The history of human art is the celebration of passionate women. Painting, literature, music, sculpture are (predominately) inspired by or created for passionate women.
Why, then, do we (generally) discourage women from being passionate? Girls are not supposed to be amorous. We have harsh names, that we readily use, for women like that. We wait, vigilant, ready to proclaim someone "Slut", "Whore", "Cheap".
But why? Is there a sense that a woman who enjoys her body and uses her body is taking the easy way? That's the easy, lazy way to get attention and get what you want.
However, if Plato is right (and he is), we are all in the cave, so our perspectives, especially our shared perspectives, are incorrect. What if the passionate woman was worth celebrating? Even necessary for thing to be as they ought?
