The
phrase is French for 'deadly woman', who uses her beauty, charm and
sexual allure to achieved her hidden purpose for personal gain or, for
an important task where the feminine wiles can accomplish more or
quicker than male talent or skills. Or even for the good of her
country, like the convicted spy Mata Hari, who made her name synonymous
with femme fatale during WW1.
In
modern days it's often used ambiguously to mean a free spirited woman,
independent, aware of her own beauty, sex-appeal, not ashamed to flaunt
that quality and practice it on her prey. The term femme fatale is
considered an old fashioned description, rejected and replaced by 'Bad
girl' to mean a beautiful woman, with irresistible charm, carefree
character, sexy and seductive. This is even proudly accepted by the
'bad girls' themselves (in most cases deservedly too), taking it as
compliment, for some, going as far as striving with any means they can
to achieve such a label. Promiscuity is almost considered a virtue
while being a virgin is a shame, the status one must deny.
I
have always try to be a good girl even though some of my attempts
failed; and I have always be confident enough to consider I know what's
good or bad, what I ought to do and what not. But now I am more than
confused. I am no femme fatale, and I am definitely not a bad girl.
What does that leave me?
A Good girl?? Now don't YOU go around insulting me!!!
