What is your body for? Some people might think it's a mode of transportation for their brain. Some people might think it's something to be used to lure men to their doom, like the legendary sirens. Some might talk about procreation, having babies, continuing the species, all that sort of stuff. Some others might think it's just advertising in motion.

Whatever it's for, do you know much about how it works? How do breasts make milk for babies? Why does your vagina leak even when you aren't having an orgasm? Why do women have hair in odd places where only men should have hair? These and other questions can be answered if you care to find out. Most young women don't know about milk ducts, or how the vagina cleans itself by leaking mucus. They don't know what makes a woman's breasts start having milk. Why are they so ignorant?

I think it's because we are so focused on making women's bodies into sex toys that we have forgotten there is a real purpose for women being different from men. It's not just a way to turn them on. No, Virginia, there really is a vagina, not just a pussy.

Women have babies, that's the whole point of that period thing women get monthly. Women feed babies, that's why we have those pair of lumps stuck to the front of us. Women give birth to babies that's why our hips tend to be wider than men's. No, it's not all there to sell cars, sorry, you have been sadly misinformed.

The saddest thing of all is that so many women are getting breast implants. A breast implant turns what starts out as a natural thing into nothing but a sex toy. Once implanted with those plastic bags of goop a breast can no longer function for breast feeding a baby. Is that such a small price to pay for having the biggest hooters. Is that all there is? Is that all you want to be?

Real women have breasts, not tits. Real women have a vagina, not a love tunnel. Real women are women, not sex toys or a great marketing campaign. They might not be size 2 with a D cup bra but I can tell you one thing, real women live for themselves, they don't wait around for some man to approve.

What shocks you? Men are more shocked or flustered by a discussion of menstruation than they would be if you flashed your pussy at them in a crowded shopping mall. It's kind of funny, really. If you could even flash in public, you could test out the theory.

Of course, if you were menstruating at the time, that would be the real test. Would he be shocked, aroused or angry?

Anyway, I'm having my period. Who would have guessed, eh? It started at work, so glad we don't wear white pants as part of the work uniform. The black pants don't show anything and I know there was something to show. It was one of those days when I hoped I was wrong and I was too busy to dash off to check until a bit later when it was already too late. Then, I still had to explain that I was going out to my car, no I'm not leaving early, just getting something from the car. It's funny when men question you about this sort of thing and you know they won't like the answer. The more you try to spare their delicate sensibilities the more they seem to feel they need to know. So, I tell them, bluntly at times since, really they shouldn't have insisted on all the gory details in the first place.

Of course it was one of those times when I had bad cramps. For you guys still suffering through to read this, cramps are like someone trying to twist your internal organs into a pretzel and then force the whole mess of your insides through an opening the size of a zit. It's not fun. I was bent over double and thinking how much I hate all people in general. Of course, I don't get PMS. That would be too easily explained. I just get actual MS, it all happens in the first hour. Not that I become psycho bitch, I just don't feel like making the effort to be nice for awhile. To say that I hate everyone is really exaggerated since I was still functioning at work, being pleasant to co-workers and cleaning up after shoppers. I didn't even bite!

Eventually, I decided the pain was worth a second trip out to the car. This time I just walked out and only told one of the other women I was taking my break early. Let them wonder.

I tried something new this period. Have you ever tried Mydol or Pamperin? I haven't, still haven't exactly since I'm not wealthy enough to pay double for them when I can get the generic drugs for $4.00. Yes, I did drugs! I know, some of you will be shocked. The wallflower on drugs, it's pretty out of character. I actually did hope I'd feel kind of high too. Well, it would have been an improvement over how I was feeling at the time.

Anyway, I took two pills, they smelled nice. I waited for them to work. Waited and waited and suddenly I realized they actually were working. It was great. I had asked to leave an hour early and I still did. But, before that I was feeling fine again. More like my usual self.

So, just letting you know that wallflowers can be bitchy but there are drugs to help. Send drugs to a wallflower you know today. Do you think we could found a wallflower drug drive charity sort of thing? I could try the non-generic brands.

OK, you men, it's safe to read again. In case you skipped to the end hoping there would be some part of this that wasn't too dangerous for you to read. Come back next week (on the 16th) when I'll have something brilliant and sexy in prose for the Scribbles Festival at BackWash.

Who are your favourite female role models? I never really have an answer for that question. But, today I was reading an article about a new TV series with a new female hero/ action/ adventure type character. It's called something like WonderFall.

Anyway, the article started by mentioning Buffy and Xena as being past heros, comparing them to this new character. So, that got me thinking about all those TV women heros. I did watch Xena and Buffy, eventually. I did like them. Mainly because it was good to see women as action hero type people. In charge, empowered and fighting, even though it's not lady-like. Too often we are pushed to the back while the men take on the mad scientists, space aliens, mutant insects, and so on. Why? It's not like brute strength is always what saves the day. Often it's a clever plan of action, blind luck or charm.

As I've been getting older I've seen women thrust into the background much less than they were when I was a kid watching TV. I'm glad. It made us look incompetent. Something we have never been.

So, I thought I would do a little goofing off and find some more action hero women. I didn't find a lot other than those I had already thought up myself. If you know some I've missed post them to the boards here. I know there are more out there.

Wonder Woman The Bionic Woman Buffy the Vampire Slayer Xena Lara Croft Cat Woman (though it wasn't her show) Linda Hamilton from The Terminator series Becca from the Andromeda TV show

Cartoons: Sailor Moon The PowerPuff Girls

Lastly, I respect the shows where the women wear real clothes over those that have them appearing in skimpy bathing suit style outfits. If they are really empowered, strong, women their clothes would be practical, not flimsy

I wrote this, a rough draft, for another website. But, now that I sent it to her I've changed my mind. It still feels scattered and too angry for what I want. Not focused either. So, I'm sticking it here, likely the only place I will end up using it, as is. I can always break it up as individual, more focused essays.
