About this deal
Not only do many women all over the world look to some external other for their sense of worth, they also place the needs of others over their own. That's privilege I am extremely aware of, and goes entirely unaddressed in too many "this is how you can improve your wellness" books being published. Without the privilege of having the MEANS to choose this, that, and the other-- where does that leave the rest of her readers?
Also, the entire book is about dismantling self-constructed egos and the effects female biology and female social conditioning have on all women, but then goes on to validate made-up gender identities like "gender-fluid" and she doesn't seem to see the complete and utter hypocrisy. The way I see it, it feels like she too has her own emotional blind spots and that she views things in a certain way based on her personal traumas and experiences. By the time I got to the end where I might have actually agreed with a few points, I was so tired of her "enlightened" rambling that I just didn't care anymore. Fiecare este influențat de anumiți factori, fiecare are povestea lui de viață, trecutul lui, o istorie personală.There were so many contradictions that it was really mind-boggling that she could get the work published. The book has opened up my eyes on how culture has played a huge role in dictating how i think, feel and react.
The patriarchal tentacle that snared young Shefali was India’s infatuation with light-colored skin and eyes. There is an abundance of radical ideology in here, explained thoroughly and dissected for easier understanding.Maybe this is not what she meant, but she goes out of her way to give men a pass with their bad behaviour. This felt wrong to young Shefali, but her grandmother seemed to believe it, so Shefali didn’t question her. Most women aren’t aware of it, but they have been trained from girlhood to crave approval, validation, and praise.
