Answer 8

Great question!

The first thing is..as I say in many of my answers..give up the "damsel in distress" mindset that society has conditioned us to have. If a boy isn't treating you right, tell him to hit the road. Don't cry about it to anyother boy you like and want him to feel sorry for you, or something like that. Be accountable for everything you do! Don't be a victim!

Second of all, have a positive self image. Limit watching tv to 1-3 shows you cannot live without, and don't watch the commercials. The goal of advertizing is to make you feel inferior, and they are very effective at it. For every negative thing you say to/about yourself say five positive things. If you don't like something about yourself (i.e. weight), be proactive and start making small changes, don't be self-destructive and continue unhealthy habits.

Dream big, get an education to justify the dream, and make that dream happen.

Stick up for what you believe in

"To thine own self be true"..don't try to mold yourself to be the quintissential feminist or anit-feminist or feminine woman or anything else!

Good Luck :)

edit: I agree with Tracey, note that the misogynistic comments here are from a very, very small minority of men. Some are joking, the rest are wounded souls who use this as a coping mechanism for their misery.
