Podcast Episode 273: 10 Things Women Get Told In Public That Don’t Need to be Said… Ever
Ah, the joys of being a woman in public and handling what feels like the never ending parade of unsolicited advice! It seems like everyone and their dog has an opinion on how we should look, act, or feel.
Whether it’s an unsolicited comments and advice like…
“You should smile more”,
or a probing question, like…
“Who’s watching the kids?”,
the public sphere can sometimes feel like a minefield of rudeness.
We’ve all been there- You’re just minding your own business, maybe deep in thought or just having a neutral expression, and someone feels the need to tell you to smile. Because apparently, women’s default setting should be cheerleader mode.
No thank you.
Navigating public interactions can be a minefield of unsolicited advice and intrusive questions. But by teaching our children respect and empathy, we can hope for a future where these rude remarks become relics of the past.
Until then, let’s keep smiling (when we want to) and owning our fabulous selves!
