we train young girls to ignore their hunger, to walk and stand and sit like ladies, to paint over or cover their pimples and stretch marks and cellulite, and then we are shocked when they grow up and become women who are alienated from their own bodies
people really want to miss the point of this post huh! when you starve yourself to reach a “preferred” body type because the one you have is called ugly; when you moderate every aspect of your movement to fit a feminine ideal; when you perceive harmless features of your face and body as “flaws” that must be covered—that’s being alienated from your physical form! that’s viewing yourself as two you’s, the mind and the body that must be fixed and controlled. that’s my point. not whether or not putting on eyeshadow is enjoyable for you personally. practice some critical thinking.
