What a woman is who doesn't have actual
power but is very good at catering to the
beauty myth. Originated by Twisty Faster at I Blame The
Patriarchy.
She
may only earn 3/4 of what a man earns, but she damn well has the empower to look sexy doing it in her cheapcrap push-up bra from
Victoria’s Secret. She has the empower to demand
pink products from manufacturers. She has the empower to cry out ‘I did it for me!’ when she gets her boob job; maybe she even has the empower to believe it. The empowerful woman is
saucy, yet feminine. Clever, yet feminine. In her early thirties, yet feminine. Heterosexual, yet feminine. Stays in shape eating Lean Cuisine and sweating blue Gatorade while kickboxing in slow motion, yet feminine. Yes, the empowerful woman is many things. Too
bad powerful isn’t one of them.
