Embracing Feminine Freedom: A Call to Action

Feminine Freedom is the ability to express and embrace one’s femininity without prejudice, constraint and expectations.

What expectations have you fulfilled without a consented thought just because “You are a girl” or “You are a woman”?

The stories and lives on women who have fought for freedom are vast.

I included women who have inspired me in times of doubt and during my fight for freedom.

These women are integral to the fabric of society and how it has been shaped, just as much as men.

Less than 200 years ago, and closer to 50 years for some changes to be made.

Women face limitations and a lack of opportunities to take leadership roles. However, we succeed in being leaders without being given the title.

Women could not express themselves as a whole, as women, vulnerable, soft, in need, emotional, as we are.

Women are unsafe in home environments, outside, at work, and in this world.

• Just like owning your bank account, or keeping your child in a divorce from your husband…The freedoms that women have now are new.
  
• Cleanliness expectations: Body functions, smell, menstruation, and hygiene are all held to a different standard for women. Women are held to a standard that has a lower window of tolerance for such things.
  
• Body Hair: The choice to keep or remove your body hair should be yours. It should not be based on societal standards or someone’s expectations of you.
  
• Body Shaming: Women have long been considered objects. Women have been forced to entertainment men for so long that society still has a narrow concept of beauty, and the value of a woman.
  

“Asking women what we want, and need and also allowing us to have those things would change the fabric of society.”
