Thoughts From Zooey.

I came across an interesting article in a magazine that interviewed well-known actress Zooey Deschanel.

In the article, Zooey shared her thoughts about girls being feminine: that she believes it to be a good thing, and that expressing femininity does not belittle one's worth.

The following is Zooey's response to a woman who stated that "Deschanel's girlish image was bad for women." (The woman "later toned down her remarks.") :

    "My theory is that people in this day and age want to dismiss things. So they want to be able to dismiss you. . . They say, 'You don't belong, you don't deserve this because here's why, and let me find an intellectual argument for why you wearing pink or cuff sleeves or a bow makes you not worthy of your accomplishments. Everything you've done doesn't matter because you wore the wrong thing or you speak in a way that's feminine or you identify yourself as feminine.' And I think that's [idiotic]."

Interesting perspective, Zooey.
