Omg. You nailed this. It’s taken me years to understand that control and conditioning can look almost identical.
Spot on.
“Women my age say we’re empowered, but we’re still chasing youth like it’s the ultimate prize. We want tighter skin, smaller waists, and bodies that almost erase our adulthood, as though aging itself is something to apologize for. And something about the attention from men makes us feel desirable and sexy. How sick is it that we were taught to call that power?… I can try to convince myself it’s for my own confidence, but in reality. I’m chasing approval from a system that taught me my value lived in how I looked to men.”
I am committed to letting my face age without the use of medical aesthetics, but it’s absurd to me how hard this is, how much pressure I feel to cave.
I will give a big middle finger with you to these ridiculous standards that fetishize girlhood instead of honoring womanhood.
Your positive feedback inspires me in a way I can’t quite explain but I can tell you that it’s soul-level fuel. When we’re together, we'll raise our middle fingers as a salute to every woman struggling with this bullshit. Big hugs.
