The world has certainly come far in terms of feminism and women’s rights, but the women of today’s age still feel restraint and confined when it comes to their bodies.
We live in a society that exert pernicious pressure on women, forcing them to follow their “defined” standards of an ideal body. We often told that our bodies are not appealing if we don’t meet their unrealistic criteria of a beautiful body.
You sure want to deny this but men have a fair-share of influence over women’s bodies without their will. They tend to manipulate our minds into following their defined standards of beauty. The outcome? Millions of women around the world struggle to get into a perfect shape for men or to please them with a desirable figure… and in pursuit of this, they lost their confidence along the process…
Considering the social stigma surrounding power and beauty, females don’t always feel secure with their own sexuality.
