8. Your hairstyle
Despite what society and the patriarchy tell us, our hair doesn’t define us as women. Having long hair isn’t necessarily the key to being feminine, and having short hair doesn’t deem you masculine or a tomboy. Whether you go long, short, dyed, or naturally gray, hair is simply hair, even if you decide to rock no hair at all.
9. Sexuality
Some women may be demonized for expressing their sexuality or liking sex. Society likes to obsess over body count, but harnessing your sexuality is just another way to feel empowered. Learn what you like and how to communicate that to partners. The number of people you’ve slept with doesn’t define what type of person you are, and what you do in the bedroom is 100% your business and your business only.
10. Crying
Sometimes, to give off an image of strength, we feel the need to put up this steely facade. But it’s ok to cry and have a breakdown once in a while! Life is stressful, and we all have a breaking point. Don’t be embarrassed to let it out. There’s nothing quite as cathartic as a therapeutic cry, which can help you let out all those pent-up emotions.
