Of course, now that we have our own grove, you're gonna call us lesbians haha

Men forget that the definition of a feminist is someone who believes we are equal, not that we are greater than men.  Unfortunately, we still live in an age where a woman has to have her femininity stripped away from her if she wants to be recognized as equal to a man.  Extraordinary women who don't take shit and sustain their own livelihoods are hardly ever seen as beautiful, soft, or sensitive.  Instead, they are denounced as lacking sexuality, femininity, described as hard, cold, and selfish. This all too common perception of successful women defeats the ability for us to claim that we have become equal.  Real men can revere us as sexy, illustrious creatures without having to cut away what makes us different from them in order to see us as equal to them.  Any other version of a male, the kind who has to project his own masculinity onto us to give us credit for what we are capable of, is not a man, but rather a coward, a child, and a lost little boy. Possibly even a homosexual, and quite usually.  And even worse are the women who out of their own insecurities, ineptitudes, and jealousy jump on the rat-a-tat bandwagons of these poor excuse for men and spit on us, the purveyors of their born and unborn daughters' future, becoming more like homosexual men than like women themselves.  This is a tough time to know what makes us women.  I say, if it makes you feel strong, if it makes you feel sexy TO YOURSELF, if it makes you weightless, and launched, it makes you a woman.  If it makes you feel accomplished, proud, and most imporantly IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BRAVE, it makes you a woman.  And to our lesbian friends out there, the same goes for you!

This is my response to the people who are calling me and my womanly colleagues lesbians for being a part of the Belezian Grove.  We're not the ones who are running around naked in Napa in the name of "brotherhood".  Sounds a little fruity to me.  Us girls, we just sip swanky cocktails and come up with real solutions.  Where are all the real men????
