@midlifemuse: The women who find their way out of this loop are not the ones who wait for the world to change first. They are the ones who stop outsourcing their sense of worth to a world that was never going to give it to them. Who build it from the inside out. Who surround themselves with other women who are doing the same. Who learn to love their femininity because they finally understand how extraordinary and powerful it actually is. You will not find that in an ad. You will not find it in a system that profits from your insecurity. You find it in the work of actually coming home to yourself. Repost this for every woman you know who is done being reduced and is ready to rise. . . . #dramandahanson #femaleathelete #womeninsports #sydneysweeney #sportsbetting
You’re telling women to stop “outsourcing their sense of worth” while writing an entire post deciding what another grown woman’s choices say about her worth. That’s the contradiction. Sydney chose to do an ad. You can dislike the ad, gambling, or sexualized marketing without turning her body and her choices into a referendum on women everywhere. Female empowerment shouldn’t mean “be whatever woman you want to be as long as the rest of us approve.”

This is the BEST post I’ve seen explaining why all women are feeling so outraged by this! Thank you for articulating this so well. Being a woman shouldn’t be so hard.

And we can’t talk to our men about it because then we’re “insecure” or “feminist”

Not to mention she didn’t even get paid close to what they make.

wnba loses money. NBA games and merch rake in a ton more than wnba games overall. That's why the pay gap there.

And when you try to explain it to men they just go “idk it doesn’t seem like a big deal”

WOMEN ARE PORTALS FOR ALL HUMANS TO COME TO EARTH. Put respect on us. Whether you believe in souls or not, we are portals and it takes a lot for it to work.

You make important points about a system designed to keep men addicted as well as the standards it sets for women, & you did so without shaming the choices of the woman who chose to do the advertisement. Well written 👌

Sydney Sweeney needs to see this because she apparently doesn't understand what she did wrong! This is an amazing view on it! 🙌

I think about the women that I know who married young, started having kids, etc. It saddens me because I know they had big goals and dreams. They did what the man wanted instead. I even would ask, you sure? But people looked at me like I was rude and crazy.
