“Grooming”
Really dislike that word, or phrase. Too many are groomed when they hit their teens.This isn’t about “that”.
This is more about how parents, society raise girls, influence[ girls. One of my daughters was a Tom Boy growing up. The other a “princess”. Then through their teens, TB got into a lot of trouble, but never took shit from anyone. Had a mind and will of her own. To the point when she defended herself, beat the shit out of her BF, and had a peace bond placed on her. My ex was mad/embarrassed walking out of court. Me. I told her “I’ve never been prouder of you”.
My “princess” in her teens got into a lot of trouble too. She also had her self esteem shattered. In part, because she fell victim to the way society, men, sexualize women, and it starts very early.
Today, both are 25-30. Both out in the world on their own. Both still have some baggage ( personal shit everyone has. But not everyone works on). Pretty solid, well adjusted young adults/grown children. Choose one, both apply.
The princess, while she still post too many “racey” selfies in FB, Insta showing off her smoking body in lulu, tank tops, etc. now has a mind of her own. And she is smoking hot…Doesn’t take shit from anyone. Is “free” to do what she wants and is…It’s been a long road.
I still have hair, so “good job” dad.
Jenesis, you’re not going to like this. I no longer buy into the patriarchy on this topic. Way too many young attractive females on insta, at gyms, on beaches, FB, OF, and more influencing current 10-14 year olds. They have their own minds. Or should by then.
just look at the Kardashian’s, music stars, and more. Also lots and lots and lots of women in marketing these days too.
