REAL power

This youtube feminist discusses what real power is for women, and what kind of power feminists strive (or should strive) for.

In summary, she states that real power is not in "heterosexual attractiveness." Many women conform to a heterosexual standard of beauty and feel powerful because men treat them that way. Is that real power? And why do so many women base their value on their external beauty?

External beauty does not equal power. Real power is not about external beauty, but rather, it is about something more than that.
