Compromising my voice, and therefore allowing myself to be unseen and degraded, and whether it was intended by the other party or not, because it allowed me to have the approval that women are conditioned to need.
I was coming from a place like so many young women do a feeling like my creative value and my professional value and my sexual value could only be measured by the approval and desirability of a man. Even if I had come from a household where the conversation about self-respect was prioritized just being a woman stacked the cards against me because for so many centuries women have been taught to be polite. To please and to pander.
And I’ve come to realize that not just my 19 year old self but my school-yard self and my married self, and my professional self have all the times been a victim of this very condition. A condition that I’m certain a majority of us share.
I never completely absorbed the ‘Me Too’ phrase because I took the phrase at face value but I’ve come to realize that while ‘Me Too’ means different things to different people, to me it is very simply the ability to empathize with the visceral realities of this condition.
I want to move forward and for me moving forward means my daughter growing up in a world where she doesn’t have to be a victim of what has cruelly become the so Shoal norm that she doesn’t have to fit into the bindings of the female condition – Times Up on the female condition.
