There are girly gurlz, boyish women, and the postmodern women: feminine hybrids who know what they want and know exactly how to get it.

The postmodern women are those who know how to get into a man’s world and wear the pants effectively. These women know how to fix their own cars, set up their own computers, and clean up their own handy(wo)man messes, from the computer disasters to the house-fixing boo-boos.

And yet, while the postmodern woman can do all that and bring her kids to soccer practice besides, she still needs jewelry: rings, pendants and other trinkets to help her remember her womanity.

Today I was reminded of such a thing. As I had been surfing for new hardware to ease my life to buy come next shopping spree, I remembered to take my daily dose of jewelry. And what caught my eye was this Abstract Diamond Statement Ring in Yellow Gold.

I know, this ring looks like a guy’s ring, but actually, if you think about it, this beautiful yet peculiar ring piece is pretty much androgynous, unisex.

Which brings me to the thought that actually, today’s world is an androgynous world. Men now take care of their appearance: they have facials, foot spas, buy face cream, lotions and what-not for themselves, while women troubleshoot computers, fix their own houses, even go off to space! And yes, men buy rings, pendants, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings for themselves and wear them, too. And quite a lot of them are not gay.

But back to the ring. I like it. It reminds me that the sexual role lines are blurring and I’m pretty much as capable of the things men can do, sometimes even better. :p
