Societal Misconceptions About Female Sexuality

Women often face confusion and ambivalence about their sexuality due to societal mixed messages that prioritize male perspectives. The idea that women should be desired rather than active participants in their sexual experiences reinforces a patriarchal system that limits female sexual agency. Women are frequently subjected to conflicting expectations, such as being sexy while also being passive, which can lead to shame when they express desire. This societal framework creates a trap where many women feel broken for not conforming to these unrealistic standards.
