I was so flattered and happy when I learnt that somebody has written an article about me on the very popular blog “Oz Conservative.”
What’s more, he had understood everything I said just right, and he turned my slightly rambling posts into something that sounds quite academic, really.

It was really amazing to read about myself in third person like that. Particularly in connection with a subject that I have never discussed with anybody outside of the internet. It was also rather cool to be called a feminine rebel!

This experience alone has made me very pleased that I took up blogging.

The article can be found here: “Feminine Rebellions”
Enjoy!

Dear Cordelia,

After reading the article at “Oz Conservative” on one of my regular visits there, I felt compelled to write to you personally. I do this for two reasons.

Firstly because I found your candid writing refreshing and it reminded me of my own way of thinking, as you describe how you discovered more instinctive and natural truths within yourself. When I was younger, I had the nagging feeling that many things in the world were just not ‘right’. That somehow things that really mattered were not perceived to matter at all, by many around me. As I’ve grown older there has come only more hastiness, trendiness, and the mindless whims and choices of the uprooted individual. It was a joy to discover the richness of the world, in nature, in cultural heritage and in divinity. To get a firmer and grip and more wide-eyed view on this life. I have found real peace and timeless beauty in favouring the classic and traditional over the modern and ‘progressive’. And I, as I said above, I believe I see this respectful awakening in you too. I hope that doesn’t sound condescending. You come across as a strong woman with a genuine love for meaning. That should not pass unpraised.

Secondly because I have found very few women so far with views like yours (and mine). Finding such a weblog is a revelation for me; a glanch into the realm of the feminine. Something I have otherwise found mostly with the women in my family (my grandmother, my mother, and my two sisters). It is hard not to notice the shallowness of most girls in my social environment. They are like labradors with too many tennisballs: clueless and unprincipled. Just like modern men. You, on the other hand, are living proof that there are still interesting women in the West. And I’m terribly curious about your next steps.

Sincerely,

Olivier (from the Netherlands)

P.S. Have you studied conservative thought? The old thinkers saw it all coming, when they envisioned the ‘dark side’ of modernity…

Congrats on getting recognized!

I think that you have a lot to say that people need to hear, and what makes it hit home even more is that it is your story!

Hello Olivier, thanks for taking time to make a comment. What you are saying strikes a chord with me. I think I am experiencing the type of change that you are talking about. It’s been coming on for quite a while though.

The bit I could best relate to was this.

“It was a joy to discover the richness of the world, in nature, in cultural heritage and in divinity. To get a firmer and grip and more wide-eyed view on this life. I have found real peace and timeless beauty in favouring the classic and traditional over the moder
n and ‘progressive’.”

You come from a really ‘modern’ country too, so I guess we have a few things in common that way too.

Gosh, am sooooooooo tired and can’t think of anything else to say apart from that I like it. Do come back!
