What if, as women, we never had to battle misogyny? What if we didn’t need to give a thought to our safety walking down the street? What if we didn’t know of societal beauty standards or hold in our bones, the long held patriarchal notion that we are supposed to look, dress, and act a certain way? What if we never learned to hold our voices inside? What would that do for women emerging in their independent lives? What would it mean to women who hold the belief that they must futilely battle the inevitable physical impacts of their aging faces? How much time and energy would that free up for countless women of all ages? How much time would that give to offer the strength and beauty of a feminine perspective to the planet? How much would that help to heal, with feminine wisdom, our ailing humanity? I wonder.
