Quote by Gloria Steinem
For women... bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can't possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual woman's body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique.
Summary
This quote highlights how societal expectations and the commercial industry impose an idealized feminine image onto women through clothing like bras, panties, and bathing suits. These items reinforce a rigid beauty standard that most women can't conform to due to their diverse body types. By challenging these norms and embracing our bodies without these visual references, women can strive to be accepted and celebrated for their unique attributes rather than being constantly compared to an unrealistic standard. This empowers women to define their own individuality and break free from societal constraints.
