Control over Women’s Bodies & Sexuality
“I feel like my body is not my own; decisions about my sexuality are dictated by family and societal norms.”
In my life, every aspect of my existence feels controlled. I am constantly told how to dress, how to behave, and who I should associate with, as if I have no say in my own life.
The messages I receive are clear: I must be modest, submissive, and obedient. When I dare to express my own desires or assert my autonomy, I am met with judgment, hostility, and sometimes even punishment.
How can I reclaim my identity when others dictate my worth?
What does it mean to live in a body that feels like a public property?
When I try to assert my rights over my own body, the backlash is swift and severe. If I refuse unwanted advances or attempt to stand up for myself, I am shamed and blamed for provoking the situation.
This constant control has stripped me of my confidence and left me feeling worthless. I feel trapped in a cycle of fear and silence, knowing that speaking out could lead to further abuse.
The Burden of Expectations
“I fear judgment or punishment for expressing my desires.”
It’s painful to navigate a world where my worth is tied to my obedience, and where my autonomy is relentlessly challenged. I long for the freedom to make choices about my own body without fear or shame. The weight of cultural and societal expectations feels overwhelming, stifling my voice and dreams.
Is there a path to liberation from this oppressive control?
Will I ever be able to express my desires without facing repercussions?
Each day is a struggle against the forces that seek to silence me. Yet, deep within me, I hold onto hope that one day I can break free from these chains and embrace my own body, my own desires, and my own identity.
