dance into the wind, 
create a new language. 
And birds fluttered around her, 
writing “yes” in the sky.”

*Why does Marcie call Patty sir?
Peppermint Patty's closest friend, Marcie, calls her "Sir". It is never revealed whether this eccentric habit, dating to Marcie's first appearance in the strip in 1971, is the result of misguided manners, poor eyesight, a snarky reference to Patty's tomboyish ways, or some other reason.

A L O H A !
Tiny Birds at Left, Sun-Egg in Nest
 
" Mysteries 
are feminine;
 they like to veil themselves
but still want to be seen and
divined. "

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel




Is this_
why I have been_
such a mystery_
to myself?_

" Debate is masculine,
 conversation
 is feminine."

Amos Bronson Alcott 


Masculine-ism
'debated' my femininity
away from the controls
of me 
for a long time.
Femininity is frivolous.
I want to be taken seriously.
Yes, they like to look,
and to touch,
BUT I am
MORE!   









" You throw like a girl! "

School Yard Taunt;
worst thing peers
can say to a boy.












" The ideal man 
bears the accidents of life
 with dignity and grace, 
making the best 
of circumstances. "

Aristotle








“ The hardest part 
has been learning how 
to take myself seriously
 when the entire world
 is constantly telling me
 that femininity is always 
inferior to masculinity. ” 

 Julia Serano


But Feminism Valued 
the Feminine, right?

" As a result
 of the feminist revolution,
 'feminine' 
becomes an abusive 
epithet. "

Wyndham Lewis







Oh


" There is nothing more rare, 
nor more beautiful,
 than a woman being
 unapologetically herself; 
comfortable in her perfect
 imperfection. 
To me, that is the true 
essence of beauty. "

 Hussein Nishah 













" I am rediscovering

 the whole sexual dimension 
of life at the age of 86, really.
And that also means discovering 
the feminine. 
So the whole of this dimension,
which I had been seeking
 for a very long time,
 is now sort of 
opening itself up to
me. "

Bede Griffiths





" Feminine passion
 is to masculine
 as an epic
 is to an
 epigram." 
Karl Kraus _ 








Being a Girl,

Being a Boy


Source of life's
mystery,
sorrows,
and Joy.





A feminine sky?

I suppose it is one
in which

Gentlemen,
 are you thunder
 & lightning?

Ladies,
Ah Ladies. . . . .

So Chore - y
yet touched with
Glory
are we!
