I know we can't post links on here. But has anyone else seen the video "be a lady they said" by Camille Rainville narrated by Cynthia Nixon for Girls. Girls. Girls. Magazine?

What did you think of it of you have?

Yes I have.

I thought it expressed very well certain attitudes towards women

Only just seen it, does express some of the pressures put on women, without it being too preachy

Yeah. I think this needs to be talked about a lot more because its not widely understood or recognised. The whole attitude to women thing needs open discussion but it can be very difficult

Thanks OP

It's excellent. It does flag up the absolute BS that is fired at women constantly. It's taken me until recently to be confident being me and not trying to conform to the expectations of others.

I still do in many ways and always will, but I'm evolving and I like me better for it.

It is really difficult and poorly understood. And I think in some respects women have it easier than we did in the past over our career choices etc. But I also think what an ideal body looks like is a bigger pressure now than it used to be.

I think you can post YouTube links.

Anyway, to answer your OP, yes I've seen it and yes I love it and it speaks so many truths. Being a woman is (well can be) difficult when you get so many opposing opinions constantly told to you. Trying to find your own path and doing so is tricky; makeup is a perfect example of that.

Oh my God!

Just watched it.

Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

The bit that jumped out at me was - cover your scars.

It's really good, I'd like to show it to my daughter if there weren't some topics mentioned that are a bit too adult for her yet.

I think a really striking thing about it too is that it's all comments you hear from other women often.

It's a very powerful piece of narrative.

It takes a long time to realise that you don't need a man to be complete. I enjoy being my own critic.

There is a lot of irony in people praising the poem yet not realising that their understanding of their own sexuality and how they present themselves on here and elsewhere is a product of a patriarchy.

What irony? That after 20 years of being with an ex husband who demanded that I never showed any skin, to the point I hated my own body. Where I am now happy to show my body despite not liking it very often. I choose to post my pictures as I like them. I as a female can choose to look sexy as it makes me feel good, but can also decide to wear ancient pj bottoms and t shirt. These are my choices that I make, which I am grateful for, not all women have this luxury.

Yes that's why it needs discussion.

It's a difficult one

Almost everything we live and breathe is a product of it. Be we male or female.
