Haha this is ****ing spot on really. How many 50 year old women are showered with the attention India is getting? And the Genuwine thing, India seems to not know that when women get older men tend to lose interest in shagging them anyway. This really is the issue with all of this 'I am a real woman' stuff. India has not grown up a woman, so India still acts like a 'typical man' (not saying all men are like that but many do speak over people and think attention should be on them at all times). If India had actually grown up a woman, no way would india act in the way India does and demand the amount of attention that she does. India would likely 'know her place'. I mean I am a proud feminist these days, and even I do shut up when my husband starts talking over me. Its learnt behaviour. I do try not to do it but it seems...almost innate as its something thats been drilled into me since being a very young child. Girls are meant to look pretty and give boys attention when they want it. Its very very hard to unlearn it. I try so hard to treat both my kids the same but even that...I tend to find myself telling my daughter to stop climbing as she will hurt herself, whilst allowing my boy to do it as 'thats just what boys do'. Stuff like that.
