We disconnect from our own bodies and, often, our deepest sense of knowing. We discipline the highs and lows of our female essence. We're conditioned to think that our periods are shameful and disgusting. We're made to feel that feminine intuition is fickle. We have a hard time appreciating our grown-up female bodies. We have too few powerful, healthy role models, but plenty of exhausted moms and emaciated models front and center on our cultural stage. (We have the media and other social influences to thank for that.) We are rewarded for acting/speaking/looking like young girls versus confident women.
“I also like to call this category "hypersuck," because women tend to get "sucked" into believing that our bodies are wild, scary, shameful places that need to be managed by an outside source, medicated, controlled, and sterilized.
