Most of us “gals,” when we go to the beach, wear a cleavage popping bikini and a diamond bracelet. Then we strike a stunning pose, sitting on some sharp rocks.
Or, maybe that’s just fantasy?
Okay. Reality knocks. Most of us don’t even wear bikinis anymore. There’s too many people on the beach to shame us. They may even have cell phone cameras. Women universally know our primary job is to look forever young, fit, and fabulous, but also shy, meek, and often humiliated to have bodies and skin.
Or, we are shamed for going on TikTok and displaying body positivity.
Let’s examine the theme of how men and women have very different conditioning and social environments when it comes to roles. This discussion also includes pornography and entertainment of all sorts, because it affects how people see sex, roles, and society.
