At times it seems nearly impossible, even for an intelligent, confident woman like myself, not to wish we had more or were more or looked like more. As much as we, semi-empowered women seem to say we love who we are, we are our own individual person, we are "true to ourselves, or we are "real," a lot of times..maybe we're not. Maybe we're still just trying to reach this un-attainable standard of beauty...which is anything but authentic.Even if we do think we are beautiful..i feel like we are always looking for ways to be more beautiful. However, do we all admit this..ever? No! Maybe we aren't being "real" or "true to ourselves."
Why else would the market for women's beauty products, diet pills, and expensive brand clothing still be in such a high demand...even in a recession?
Why do so many women still feel the need to try to lose weight when they look great already. Why do they still feel the need to parade around wearing clothes and bags with the brand name printed all over it so that everyone else knows that they paid a lot for it. Maybe hoping that another woman will see it and become jealous. Does that make us feel better about ourselves?
Why else do women hate on eachother or become jealous. Why do we say things like "i'm not friends with girls, only guys," or say to eachother things like, "i'm fat" or "i'm on a diet" or whatever. I do it too, so I am not blaming other people, but I include myself in this rant. At what point do some of us stand up and say "shut the fuck up all ready!!" ??
