Amber, It’s terrible that we lose precious years enslaved to ideas that aren’t even ours. Thank goodness you’re free now and you see that living up to YOUR norms is all you’ve ever needed to do (and it’s all that will ever make you happy).

Love to you,

Cynthia

In reply to Sandy Penny. Thank you, Sandy. That's a great idea, but it might be too long. What do you think of breaking down one question at a time? Cynthia

Mercelo – Thank you for sharing such an interesting aspect of this issue. It’s insidious and true and we hardly notice it.

In reply to Marcelo Cardoso. Btw, I do realize there's still an opposite pressure and prejudice making it harder for women to get into higher job positions, etc... there's plenty of talk about that elsewhere, it's just that here the focus is on another aspect of the problem.

Nice. I think there’s also a consumerist/capitalist agenda telling us what to aspire for, Like:
If a survey finds that many women are choosing their careers based on personal fullfilment instead of an obsessive pursue for money/status, it’s portrayed as somehow wrong and society wonders how to get their minds changed… while seeing as perfectly normal the men giving up careers they’ld like for those where the (big) money is at.
Even being masculine doesn’t impliy putting all of your efforts to become a big shot in an individualistic way, barely spending time with your children (if you’re into having them), etc. There are greater ambitions in life.

Hi, Cynthia. You should record this one for audio/video. It’s a powerful one.

Beautiful Cynthia. Thank you for this. I needed a reminder of true Feminine power…after years of telling myself that I was not living up to the societal norms of success. Usually based on what you mentioned- the Masculine imitated version of “Feminine” power.
