Deep dives
Women's complicated relationship with their bodies
Women's relationship with their bodies is often difficult, filled with fear, shame, and self-consciousness. Society's emphasis on physical appearances and the male gaze contributes to poor body image among women. This leads to insecurity, body dysmorphia, and the perpetuation of patriarchal control. Women's bodies are also a source of vulnerability to male violence and harassment. Body hatred hinders self-love, self-care, and empowerment, allowing women to be easily controlled and oppressed. Healing and removing the male gaze from one's consciousness is essential for cultivating a positive body image.
