The Female Chauvinist Pig...


Air heads soaring high in a land of their own, perceptions of flying high above the rest, floating on the surface, superficial, pseudo...

The Female Chauvinist Pig [FCP] as it turns out is the latest raging personality prototype that is sweeping over the youth like a fire gone wild with great fervor. FCP is the polar opposite of feminist ideology. Girls today are finding solace in and in a way identifying with ‘dumbing’ themselves down to fit in. School and colleges cliques today are being defined holding this parameter as of utmost importance, the latest shade of pink nail polish, or lipstick seems to have made its way up the ladder to top priority topic of discussion for months on ends. Giddy headed laughter, an image of fluffy brainless chickens its what these girls crave. Being a bimbo today is cool!! Its en vogue!!

This is a case of identifying with the oppressor; here it is women who are now oppressing women, culling out these personas of acceptability. The foundation stones have been laid, the smart, the opinionated, the informed, the intellectual, etc are to be ostracized.

Videos featuring women bearing much much more than their souls, increasing focus on physical appearance, the defamation of women, the disrespecting women reducing them to objects of lust work in tandem at influencing many a mind creating and reiterating a belief system where what’s on the outside out weighs what’s on the inside

SO TRUE..specially for B'by.. in my last 6 yrs of existence in this city most of which was in a hardcore women's college environment (SOphias), surprisingly found more of these kinds in colleges like jai hind and KC and HR. The chicks with the mulahs whose life revolve around these.

And one observation i have made specially after speaking to all my guy friends.. seems like there is something about these dumb chicks but cute looking one.. and i think the reason behind girls turning their personalities from intelligent level headed to dumb pink clad chicks is because of this.. Thats wat guys like and generally the more number of men attracted the better seems to be the achievement status of life..

I have had and actually still have really close friends who have very clearly shown two sides of their personalities.. since i have or live with them i see a complete different side of them the moment we enter "lets attract some male zone" man i can't believe that they are the same women cuz in a seconds time they turn into giggly dumn intolerable idiotic chicks.. and all for the cause of the great Manly world.. wonder where the sense of originaltiy, confidence in being wat u r goes ?

Watched the Oprah Winfrey show the other day which i think covered this very aspect in the American teens who get influenced by the hollywood stars and go to any extent to look and behave the POO types..

Well written.This is consumerism for you! the hunger for recognition and acceptance is driving today's youth and this is culminating in the madly drive to prove oneself. The sufferer is originality. The winner is insecurity. You know, the outer surface of these FCPs or MCPs is just a mask hiding the complexities growing inside. Sorry state of affairs!
