Despite all the steps we have taken, even in the most advanced societies, women do not come into contact with their female power and continue to face additional or additional challenges because of their status as women; in many cases, it is not because there is a written rule or a custom explicitly imposed. Many women simply do not know these difficulties and sometimes do not know very well how to identify them, because they appear in disguise.
For example, is it one thing to have all the rights and freedom to speak, to speak, to denounce facts that violate your rights, to work?And another is that this is socially well considered or that the environment, including its most reliable people, supports these women.
- Indeed.
- Social pressure forces many women to remain silent.
- To stay at home and to concentrate their lives on the family.
- Forgetting themselves or acting in a concrete way.
- Ignoring the real needs of their female soul.
- Of their feminine power.
One of the biggest problems faced by women is their consideration as a sexual object, which not only makes it difficult for many women to fully and freely enjoy their sexuality, but also makes many women feel dirty when they do.
You may remember the recent case of indictments against Harvey Weinstein, a Hollywood producer, for sexual abuse. Movie stars like Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Ashley Judd have confirmed that they are on the long list of women, which is made up of more than fifty people. , who have been sexually harassed in the past.
In fact, these allegations relate to events that began in the 1990s, only time has allowed some of these women to report the facts and gradually join others, and in addition, these cases are constantly being discovered, influential men abusing women. ; in many cases, women who are now considered important and powerful.
But why do these women shut up for so long or even denounce it, why do women shut up when the law, reason and common sense are on their side, scared, ashamed?The social price to be paid to defend yourself?Tags, reputational stain, loss of social prestige?Guilt or responsibility?The lack of support around you, the shame of the situation?
Silence to forget doesn’t work. Otherwise, many cases would not be discovered over the years. The pain is there. However, when these complaints arise in a timely manner, they leave a mark, a stain and can end a successful career, with a promising future.
The really sad thing is that this fear, this shame is justified, defending oneself would make sense when a person is truly 100% supported by his environment, when we are sure that at the end of the process, the culprit will remain the culprit and the roles will not be exchanged, both in the eyes of society and those of justice.
The case exposed is an extreme case. This is the tip of the iceberg, one of the clearest and most sinister signs that society encourages women to remain silent, but there are many other situations in which women feel compelled to close their mouths, sometimes with subtle gestures, sometimes with clear and palpable gestures. Reactions.
As a woman you must affirm yourself, give yourself the means to regain your place in your world. Their opinions, their needs, their priorities should not be adapted to those reflected in society. You must defend your autonomy and integrity against any obstacle or obstacle. that threatens their freedom of action and thought.

Fear and shame, when the target deserves it, are the result of the disrecognisement of one’s inner strength as a woman. We grew up in a society that, although presumed egalitarian in many cases, is actually terribly sexist. , costumes are sexist, roles are sexist, toys are sexist, music, games, leisure, fiction?Education?

Anything that makes you feel strong, do it. Be sure to do what your body and mind ask you to do simply because at some point you feel knocked out for some reason. Don’t feel labeled for something to do when it makes you strong. Don’t feel constrained by age, motherhood, marriage, or anything else that might influence your decision to do something that gives you power.
Plan your life and defend it. The real fight is in you.
