I have published, on numerous occasions, posts concerning women. I've talked about their concerns over weight, looks, men, stress, and my own belief that there is not a pedestal high enough to put them on, or safe enough. They keep falling off. From what I've seen and heard, falling off their lofty pedestal has much to do with self-image. That self-image seems to be driven by actions and words of the caring, loving people around them, as much as by media and society. Maybe women need to listen less to people that haven't walked a mile in their shoes, and start listening more to their own heart.
