Power of the P.U.S.S.Y

Power exercised by women; specifically a woman's use of her sexual allure or femininity in order to exert influence over men.

{Oxford Dictionary “Origin: 1960s; earliest use found in Eldridge Cleaver (1935–1998), social activist and writer”}.

Power of the pussy is an extract from a recent academic research interview i conducted for Leeds University, UK with Jessica Burton, a trans from Jamaica residing in the Netherlands.

In her words; “ Women are often forced underground, they say it’s men’s world.  However, over the years women have lost the touch of arranging, balancing, centering their vagina and reaching into their inner sole.  The value of women has broken down even for marginalized women such as transgender, transsexuals and intersex persons. Women come in all size, shade, color, race, class, status and capacity. Around the world trans women are not classify as women, because they don’t have a physical vagina, but the question is; does a physical vagina make you a woman?”

A famous singer Helen Reddy; “Yes I pay the price, but look how much I gain, if you ask me, I can do anything, I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman”.  

Well, I find this topic fascinating as it has broad meaning and cuts across different understanding of how we see a woman or girlchild. Overtime, many families and society have neglected the importance of a girl child and the strength of a woman. Some women themselves have lost the value and understanding of being a woman. They have centred their virgina for wrong reasons forgetting how powerful they are as women. Parents and communities have demoralised the girl child making her belief she belongs to the kitchen and bedroom. So sad that these ideologies and interpretations of who a woman should be have caused major setback in families and society at large.

Empowering one woman is empowering a nation. Women need to begin to realise their strength in a world where they seem to be oppressed by wrong policies and tradition. We need to realise that women are not second class but first class in the real sense of it because without a woman there is no man. The society should understand that the strength of a woman is inevitable in the world we live.

Some women know their strength and worth, while some have centred their senses around using what they have to get what they want by using their virgina wrongly and some have labelled themselves slay queens instead of virtuous queens. Do not allow the society determine who you should be as a woman. And take note; the society begins within the family.

The Power of the P.U.S.S.Y is a project conducted by Jessica for Trans, Transsexuals and Intersex/sex-workers which is a combination of therapeutic and theoretical method of centering your mental vagina and allow things to fall in place.

A popular quote says; “What a man can do a woman can do better”.

We can not do without women, through them we came, they rule our world whether you agree or not. You can not overrule the strength of a woman, you can not put aside the importance of a girl child.

The power of the PUSSY is inevitable!
