"Princessist" - Belle


Introduction

"Womanist" is a term made up by Alice Walker, mainly criticising (remember this is not a negative or positive word) the lack of concern to black women of "feminist". I have read a lot lately and this is what I have seen lately in Alice Walker's "In Search of Our Mother's Gardens".

Then after understanding "Womanist" I have made up my own term "Princessist"!



What is "Princessist"?



1. Root – Princess.  (1. Royalty - a non-reigning female member of a royal family. 2. Historical - a female sovereign or monarch, the queen. Expand 2, forgoing 1.) i.e. an advanced queendom of any queen in any kingdom in any century; a female King. A feminist defined clearly with no boundaries or fixations between White, Black or Red and Yellow. Add. from the old French expression, Princesse i.e. dressing in the princess manner, styled, close-fitted, bodice concerned, elegant, outer but internally, as well conscious. From the ending of the Disney Princess movies, “they lived happily ever after,” out of the ending, actually being passionate in bearing the outcome. Usually referring to heroic, courageous, visionary, outrageous, audacious, and venturesome behaviour. Eagerness to understand the whole cube than doing the case as "one". Made up the bond and tear those into the dimension. Carry every smaller-. Acting as a Hero/and  a good King to everyone. Being realistically mature/ grown up. Interchangeable Responsible. Logical. Passionate. In . Seriousness. Constructiveness. 

2. Compulsory range: A woman who sees themselves a part of other lives of any female species, contributions and caring for various species. Evokes internal admiration and emotional contributions for female living species. Knowing and prefers female culture, energy and thoughts, seeks connection between individual, family and partnership. Respect natural and counterfeit emotion (values tears as natural counterbalance of laughter and demonstrate reproach-less of false nature and power), and the living strength of female species. Built up the link, sexually and/or non-sexually of individual men or in the seeking of. Committed to Individualize, styles, cultures, individual difference but as a wholeness of seeking similarities between people and living creature; male and female. Not a separatist, not a stereotype: only for knowing yourself part of the living species.

3. Loves music. Loves dance. Loves the moon. Loves the Spirit. Loves love and food and roundness. Loves struggle. Loves the Folk. Loves herself. Loves lion. Loves the "truths" Loves the impossibles. Also Believe And Loves - the supernaturals - something that is impossible which is made possible. Regardlessly - Authentically - Everlastingly. 



4. “Womanist is to feminist as "purple" is to "lavender”, but Princessist to Womanist is as "Colors" is to "lavender".





So still...what is "Princessist"? What does it mean? Why do we use "Princessist" instead of "Womanist"? How are they different?


I am making it so complicated and so confusing? I knew it! That's okay I've heard these a million times! I will explain what does these definitions mean and compare it to "Womanist"!


- Alice Walker’s definition of her made-up word “Womanist”

- My definition of my made-up word “Princessist”

- Explanation of the definitions

1. 

From womanish.  (Opp. of “girlish,” i.e. frivolous, irresponsible, not serious.)  A black feminist or feminist of color.  From the black folk expression of mothers to female children, “you acting womanish,” i.e., like a woman.  Usually referring to outrageous, audacious, courageous or willful behavior.  Wanting to know more and in greater depth than is considered “good” for one.  Interested in grown up doings.  Acting grown up.  Being grown up.  Interchangeable with another black folk expression: “You trying to be grown.”  Responsible.  In charge. Serious.

Root – Princess.  (1. Royalty - a non-reigning female member of a royal family. 2. Historical - a female sovereign or monarch, the queen. Expand 2, forgoing 1.) i.e. an advanced queendom of any queen in any kingdom in any century; a female King. 
Based on the idea of a Princess but without the concern on royalty but with the act of leading and dominating as the King.

A feminist defined clearly with no boundaries or fixations between White, Black or Red and Yellow.
Breaking the boundaries of race, and includes every female being.  

Add. from the old French expression, Princesse i.e. dressing in the princess manner, styled, close-fitted, bodice concerned, elegant, outer but internally, as well conscious. From the ending of the Disney Princess movies, “they lived happily ever after,” out of the ending, actually being passionate in bearing the outcome. Usually referring to heroic, courageous, visionary, outrageous, audacious, and venturesome behaviour.
With the addition/ addendum of the idea of "Princesse", she looks like a princess and from the appearance she shows a fully princess being because she has it already from the inside. She is very willing and passionate in bearing her responsibility and the act of dominating and caring and sacrifice for people around after going through a happy ending: marriage or birth.  

Eagerness to understand the whole cube than doing the case as "one". Made up the bond and tear those into the dimension. Carry every smaller-. Acting as a Hero/and  a good King to everyone. Being realistically mature/ grown up. Interchangeable Responsible. Logical. Passionate. In . Seriousness. Constructiveness.
The eager to understand everything in depth and acting as a hero and a good king in front of everyone. Being responsible taking up the jobs as a king, mother and wife. 



2. 

Also: A woman who loves other women, sexually and/or nonsexually.  Appreciates and prefers women’s culture, women’s emotional flexibility (values tears as natural counterbalance of laughter), and women’s strength.  Sometimes loves individual men, sexually and/or nonsexually.  Committed to survival and wholeness of entire people, male and female.  Not a separatist, except periodically, for health.  Traditionally a universalist, as in: “Mama, why are we brown, pink, and yellow, and our cousins are white, beige and black?” Ans. “Well, you know the colored race is just like a flower garden, with every color flower represented.”  Traditionally capable, as in: “Mama, I’m walking to Canada and I’m taking you and a bunch of other slaves with me.” Reply: “It wouldn’t be the first time.”

Compulsory range: A woman who sees themselves a part of other lives of any female species, contributions and caring for various species. Evokes internal admiration and emotional contributions for female living species. Knowing and prefers female culture, energy and thoughts, seeks connection between individual, family and partnership. Respect natural and counterfeit emotion (values tears as natural counterbalance of laughter and demonstrate reproach-less of false nature and power), and the living strength of female species. Built up the link, sexually and/or non-sexually of individual men or in the seeking of.  
The idea contributes a wide range of concerns. A woman who cares and relates themselves with other female living species deeply, out of love.                                                                                                      

Committed to Individualize, styles, cultures, individual difference but as a wholeness of seeking similarities between people and living creature; male and female. Not a separatist, not a stereotype: only for knowing yourself part of the living species.  
Like what I said in my last post - I would like people to see one another individually so that everyone has their own way of difference, and there will be no stereotypes - because then everyone will be seen different anyways, not like how is it now saying White women are... Black women should be...

Loves music.  Loves dance.  Loves the moon. Loves the Spirit. Loves love and food and roundness.  Loves struggle. Loves the Folk.  Loves herself. Regardless.

Loves music. Loves dance. Loves the moon. Loves the Spirit. Loves love and food and roundness. Loves struggle. Loves the Folk. Loves herself. Loves lion. Loves non or breath. Loves tears. Loves the "truths" Loves the impossibles. Also believes: And Loves - the supernaturals - something that is impossible which is made possible. Regardlessly - Authentically - Everlastingly. 

The concept is basically similar to "Womanist", is just that we never know the difference of living and dead and what the truth is. What I added here: lion - a metaphor to all animals, considering the place of a lion as the king of all animals. The tales for us share the common theme: supernatural and the spirit of animals - it means animal actually has the spirit and a human being, evidences listed out (very very briefly) -

- "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" - supernatural: "magic mirror on the wall", "poison apple", spell broken by love's kiss - spirit of animals: animals singing and communicating with human, taking part in saving and helping and living happily with Snow and the dwarfs, animals crying for her.

- "Cinderella" - supernatural: "Fairy God Mother", "Clock strikes 12 magic will disappear", talking animals - spirit of animals: animals taking part in saving Cindy, mice: Jack, Gus-gus, the evilness of Lucifer the cat, the cleverness and cuteness of Bruno the dog and that both human and animals can communicate as if living together all as one species.


- "The Sleeping Beauty" - supernatural: Maleficent's spell, Fairies, half animals: Flora, Fauna, Merryweather - spirit of animals: pets, animals singing and communicating with Auro.


- "The Little Mermaid" - supernatural: The Sea King's magic, power and his triton, Ursula's magic, talking animals spirit of animals: Mermen and Mermaids themselves as half human and half human, Flounder, Sebastian.


- "Beauty and the Beast" - supernatural: spell casted turning human into beast and furniture, breaking the spell by love, transformation back to human - me haha, magic mirror, talking "non-living things" (so this is why "love the non-breath") - spirit of animals: Beast as prince , other animals with human wisdom and human beings living with us.  


- "Aladdin" - supernatural: Genie, Magic Lamp, The Cave of Wonders, talking animals - spirit of animals: Cleverness and human being of Abu, Rajah and Lago. 


- "Pocahontas" - supernatural: Grandmother Willow - spirit of animals: Meeko, Percy, Filt. 


- "Mulan" - supernatural: ancestors, Stone Dragon - spirit of animals: Mushu, Cri-Kee.


- "The Princess and the Frog" - supernatural: Doctor Facilier's magic and supernatural power - spirit of animals: Tiana and Naveen turning into a Frog, Ray...


- "Brave" - supernatural: willo the wisp and spell of the witch turning human into Mordu/ bears - spirit of animals: Bear - Elinor turned into Mordu, Angus.   


You can never say does these things really happens or not, it may not but in the sense of supernatural, a Princessist respect both the living and non-living, real and supernatural, believing that the "impossible" is terms of "possible and that they exist for a reason. 


Tears. Meaning sadness, cries and suffer but also the true feeling and the heart. Significance of tears: Healing/ life - e.g. Rapunz giving Eugene back his life by tears. This is a form of the power of weakness.

Womanist is to feminist as purple is to lavender.

“Womanist is to feminist as "purple" is to "lavender”, but Princessist to Womanist is as "Colors" is to "lavender".
So it works like this - lavender is a type of the color, purple. So it intend that feminist is only a small part of Womanist - womanist is a lot boarder and considering the ideas that feminist doesn't have e.g. rights of black women. And Princessist to Womanist is as Color to lavender: that means the idea of Womanist is just a small concern in a type of the idea of Princessist: Princessist is very board - it actually includes every lives, including e.g. animals and mermaids. And it concerns the relation of life and all women issues equivalent to the society (Patriarchy or Matriarchy).



Well so, you know the difference now! I am making it too board? Oh well - yes I know but...yeah I just have to!
