Self Portrait Challenge~ Political:woman

I've been really sick and am just now starting to feel better...ick...
Here is my photo for this weeks Self Portrait Challenge theme Political...I honestly have too many ideas for this one, I know its hard for a lot of people to be political and I often avoid the topic especially amongst certain groups of people but I also have lots to say. I just usually express those ideas in the other art I do. today I was just thinking a lot about inhabiting the space of a female body and what it is to be a woman in this world. What that means or doesn't mean, how it affects the way I view the world and other people and how gender is so much more complicated than the category of female or male. I feel particularly vulnerable in the world as a woman, more so lately after being robbed. It's an interesting thing to be a woman. To me gender is very political.
