“European culture, along with fake Christianity and capitalism, has transformed Western women into mere sex objects and showpieces of sexualized features. However, the greatest success of this culture and its business model has been its ability to convince women that being a single mother is a symbol of empowerment—that they are bold, not deceived. It has also led them to believe that walking naked in the street is a sign of beauty and intelligence, and that the more they expose their bodies, the more they represent freedom.
Most women live under this illusion, thinking they are free and challenging outdated societal norms. But in reality, their thoughts and minds have been successfully hijacked. They have become mental slaves to new norms—norms carefully crafted and cleverly designed by a European male-dominated society to use women for their own purposes, and by businesses to exploit their bodies for profit.
In the past 50 to 70 years, nothing has been commercialized more than the female body.”
