Where are all the respectable young women?
____________________________________
A woman is objectified the moment she is born a girl - Yaddah, yaddah I've read
this line half a million times, in half a million studies, and
in half a million personal stories. I'm still wondering, after
all the confessions, observations, and papers written in a system
that is supposed to advance our proficiency (aka University), if the sting
of it will ever sink into the minds of the ladies squirrelling
around our very tiny campus.
I'd like to hear the words advancement, accomplishment, vigour,
creativity, poise, humour, beauty, intelligence, radiance... I'd like to see
elegance, and edge, and bravery... Why does it seem that
young women can't even pull themselves together
inside a classroom, on a first date, or with their
fellow droids?
I read the term self-objectification today.
Witnessing far too many young women place a great deal
of power on their sexuality, bodies, and ability to manipulate men over
the strength, vitality, and promise of their own minds - in the
real world, it's called going to the bar and watching Jersey Shore -
I question whether women love it more than they hate it.
When it comes to style, the most tasteful of young
women today hold a very rare position.
