The societal expectation that women should prioritize their roles as wives often overshadows their personal needs and desires. Young women are often primed for marriage with focus on domesticity and pleasing their husbands, while their individuality and self-worth are neglected. Insights from cultural practices in France show that women spend significantly on lingerie for their own pleasure rather than for a partner. This realization encourages a shift towards prioritizing self-care and recognizing the importance of fulfilling one's own desires and identity outside traditional marriage expectations.
Changing the narrative around female desire is essential. Many women are prepared for matrimony but not taught to appreciate their own sexuality and worth.
Young women need to be equipped with self-love rituals and personal expressions of care, transcending societal expectations regarding marriage and service to husbands.
American expatriates in France reveal a fascinating cultural difference: where women spend 20% of their income on lingerie, they prioritize self-pleasure and self-worth.
Simply put, women must embrace their own desires and needs, recognizing that they deserve both the means to care for themselves and spaces to celebrate their individuality.
