“bodieshatewomen” is an exploration on what it means to have a body as a woman. A woman’s body is idealized and sensationalized in our culture. Sometimes, it feels special and beautiful to be a woman. Confidence in women who love their bodies and own their own skin is so powerful. Other times, having a body as a woman is terrifying. Walking alone through the world in a woman’s body can feel inherently unsafe and stupid. Other times it is vital to have complete control over your external emotions when you have a woman’s body; to be 100% certain that no one could ever say you were too emotional, too loud, too needy, too angry, too much. Through this piece we explore these different ways of existing as a woman, and how impossible existence can feel.
