It’s women’s history month! One of the ways in which we commit gender-based violence is by perpetuating negative beliefs about women, as women. How can we heal from this?
Questions to ask yourself:
1. In what ways do I tear down other women?
2. Do I send the subtle message to a woman that “it’s your fault”? Not just for concerns that are clearly not the woman’s mistake, but for other topics like physical health, etc.
3. Do I default to criticizing mom and glorifying the other parent? (Side note: Why is there no Good Enough Father or Good Enough Parent theory in psychology?)
4. In what ways can I be more intentional about uplifting other women?
5. Do I need to exercise more self-compassion?
You are worthy of love. Go, be great, and SHED YOUR SHAME.
