You are a Story
…she is a story whether she wants to be or not.
Because she is a woman.
People watch women as if reading them.
They watch them more closely than they do men.
Because they are more interesting.
Women have been the subject of so much objectification because of their intrinsic mystery.
Some of the greatest figures of worship are female:
the virgin mary
mother nature
earth goddesses
madonna…
people study women the way the devout read books; not so much to learn material as to surrender to a word or phrase that captures ones attention. That is how others perceive women. And that is why non-verbal symbols become weapons.
A strength you don’t use turns destructive.
– The Princessa, Harriet Rubin
