Why are so many women in our society insecure?

Question

About the stupidest things too, their feet or a bump on their leg, or

a finger.

Why are people so insecure?

It doesn't make sense to me, its like everyone is thriving for perfection and it is ridiculous.

Answer 1

Brandon, I think you answered your own question in your third line. Society and the false interpretations of commercialism have made us believe that perfection is reality.  Women have succumbed to that fake realization more than any other class of people than anyone.  We have to be a certain size, we have to look a certain way, we have to act and be like the Barbie Dolls they want us to be. Society tends to focus on the drama of perfect marriages gone wrong, the guy finding the younger girl during his midlife crisis, or vise versa, my question is............have we really grown past the 50's era of  the mindset of what a marriage is supposed to be?  TV is NOT the social norm, but most people think it is.  Women have fought for so long for rights and a place in the working world, but some of them still don't stand up for their individuality................why can't society focus on successes of regular women? Because they don't look perfect in a swimming suit?  Or maintain a size 2 after 3 kids?  I don't know but it's sick!   It is rediculous and one by one, we will defeat this myth, if only one decade at a time.  Good question though, thanks for making me think about it.   Although it's made me realize just how far we, as a society has to go.  Have a great Sunday Evening!

Answer 2

WOMEN IN OUR SOCIETY HAVE BEEN CONDITIONED TO FOCUS ON THEIR BODIES (YOUTH, BEAUTY, APPEARANCE, AND SEXUALITY) BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BEARERS OF THE NEXT GENERATIONS. THEY HAVE BEEN BRAIN WASHED TO BELIEVE THEY ARE NOT AS SMART, CREATIVE, STRONG, ETC AS THE MALE COUNTER-PART OF THE SPECIES. WOMEN ARE CONTINUALLY BOMBARDED BY THIS IDIOTIC PRECONCEIVED, ARCHAIC NOTION.

Answer 3

I guess because they can get away with it?  and   are looking  for  sympathy I don't  really know. Either  sympathy or empathy.

Answer 4

its the natural human feeling to be better at everything. however, i think most girls dont want ANYONE to think of them gross/weird at all. they have to be perfect so that others wont judge them. if only they knew how little some people care

Answer 5

I think a lot of it is media generated.

Safety when we are out socializing etc. is one insecurity that has merit though.
