Can we stop loving shaming women already? Why? Because it is extremely dumb to judge someone based on their sexual proclivities. It is also wrong to think that a woman’s worth is tied to her sexuality. Instead of calling women hoes, let’s call them by their names. Here are some suggestions for stopping love shaming:
Body shaming
If you’re a victim of body shaming, you may be tempted to cover up or hide from the world. While this is understandable, life is too short to live in the shadows. Instead, take the necessary steps to combat the problem. First, you should start by accepting yourself and your body for what it is. Once you’re no longer ashamed of your body, you can look for ways to improve it and feel better about yourself.
Single-shaming
Many single people experience a lot of shame, both from their family and friends, and from others. It is no secret that society often deems women who are single to be “depressed,” and there is a strong bias against women who are unmarried. Unfortunately, this stigma is perpetuated in various ways. In some cases, it is generated by popular culture, such as situation comedies and rom-com movies. Unfortunately, most mature individuals don’t take such things seriously, and they often use them to mock people who harbor a negative attitude towards single women.
Men shaming women into loving them back
Shaming Women
Shaming is one of the most common ways men abuse women. Men who constantly shame women into loving them back treat them as “overreacting” or “crazy,” or use the word c-word to manipulate their victims. Shaming a woman based on her past sexual history crosses a line. The same holds true for the c-word. Men who regularly use it to manipulate a woman are abusive and need to stop.
Self-help books
One of the most popular self-help books for women is “Daring Greatly.” It’s a great read that encourages the reader to embrace her vulnerabilities and find confidence in herself. The book is written by a success coach and offers 27 bite-sized chapters about her personal transformation from a 40-year-old who lived in an unfinished garage and had an empty bank account to a wealthy, successful woman. Sincero believes that anyone can achieve success if they are willing to put in the work. She was able to overcome her own negative thought patterns and self-doubt.
Talk show hosts
If talk show hosts could just stop peddling their arbitrary opinions about women, the sex life would change overnight. The culture of sexual shame has been addressed in many venues, but romantic shame is a cultural phenomenon that lures women to self-help books and talk show hosts, needles them into personality contortions, and creeps into popular psychology. These “shameful” messages, which are based on gendered norms, suggest that women’s natural ways of being in the world are not good enough to inspire partnership. They suggest that the female love life is not enough to inspire partnerships, or even to inspire them to be themselves.
Social media
It is time we stopped love shaming women. This is especially relevant now that many men are doing the same. While men love comparing women’s occupations, the reality is that they can be a bit deceptive. For instance, a doctor might save lives. A stripper, by contrast, takes off her clothes for the entertainment of others. While this might seem like a noble pursuit, it is actually quite problematic.
