About Me


"Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?"
-Maya Angelou

In Victorian times the terms “loose” and “straight-laced” were coined. Women were straight-laced if they wore their corsets (usually laced so tight one could hardly breathe) and behaved like a proper woman (frail, dependant, et cetera). A “loose” woman was one who rejected corsets and the strangling definition of what womanhood meant in Victorian times. This group is established for all the “loose” women still out there.We 1.) Choose to define womanhood for ourselves, irrespective of societal standards. 2.) We support the right of other women to define their womanhood, irrespective of societal standards. 3.) Encourage dialogue to develop the skills to make choices, irrespective of societal standards.This is feminism at a personal level. If a fellow woman chooses to define womanhood as tied to being a mother in the home, we support her. Conversely, if a woman defines womanhood as being a CEO, we support her. The idea is that the choice was made through emotion and thought tied to our own desires and goals, not the desires of a society pressuring us into a certain lifestyle.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I am looking for mature, substantive, yet fun women. This group has been established to progress women’s rights through personal choice. In making any personal choice all humans have the responsibility to do so through knowledge, ethics, and an awareness of consequences.

Medea’s Insanity

I was banished. Thrown away once again by an over-valued man. I was on my knees, which were scraped by the impact of solid ground. Dry, lifeless dirt mixed with my boiling-hot, red blood. My whole lif...
