“As a culture we value stoicism and the overriding of the body.”
I’ve thought about this so much. I don’t want to be stoic, I don’t want to suppress my emotions. People probably shouldn’t ask me, “how are you?” If they don’t truly want to know because yes, I will share my true feelings.
We need to embrace and release, not suppress.

“Our initiation of girls into womanhood is superficial in comparison - learning to put on makeup, wearing a first bra….. Many women get married and get pregnant without having any sense of their own capacity for endurance, physically or psychologically. Small wonder then that so many… elect to give birth with the aid of pain-killers and a technology that robs them of the experience of their own strength.”
