hayley atwell for the guardian
Real talk girls get asked this question repeatedly from the age of about seven. Itās also phrased as āif you could change one thing about your appearance, what would it be?ā
STOP. ASKING. Stop asking stop asking stop asking.
Nope gosh dang it I have more to say. Why are girls expected to answer this question like itās āwhatās your favorite colorā or something innocuous? Why is this even remotely okay? This is in quizzes, girlās diaries + activity books, magazines, party games, and school reflections. How is that okay? Why are girls expected to have an answer to this question? Why is it supposed to be normal to decide that you hate a part of your body? Why are we teaching children this?
