Why does our culture saddle girls with so much insecurity? Easier to manipulate and control, perhaps. I’m not buying the differential biology explanation for this. Looking at marketing directed at boys vs girls tells quite a bit of the story.
Yet I don’t see a nefarious plot. Generations upon generations of behaviors feeding back upon each choice. These dream fed mindsets, layering upon each, acting from the depths, our mind’s unaware. And here we are.
Slowly, as we bring each behavior into our awareness, we see the fallacies before us; leaving them in the dust of history. Wretched dreams of forgotten kings, dominations waving in the dusty, dry wind.
6/10 Update:
Came across this article that’s correlated: “Tips: Raising Children to have Healthy Relationships with Food & Their Body.” (~ Dr. Stacey Rosenfeld)
I shall work to keep from feeding this, destructive cycle for I adore the girls/women in my life.
