Am I not wearing my comfortable heels?

[merrily]

I really enjoyed sasha_feather's recent post about why Legally Blonde is a great feminist film (found via the lovely toft). Excerpt:

The main impression this movie has made on me as a feminist is that it celebrates someone is what we might call "high femme" [...] My own coming-of-age journey, finding my own identity as a woman, has largely been about rejecting these things and making fun of them. [...] Growing into adulthood as a woman and a feminist has been about reconsidering this stance and respecting other people's choices. And this is what the film does for me. Elle is serious, smart, and powerful. She is a strong woman, a sympathetic one, a relatable one. I identify with her and cheer for her even when I am mystified by her love of pink sparkles and sororities. She is unapologetically herself, and that is something I want to be. Be yourself. Own who you are.
