influencers preaching for women to be bold, to be bad and to be reckless
Why do you think they are saying that? They are saying that because it sells (for most of them). I am certain there are true influencers out there. For them it is not about that. I am surrounded by women Sam. A lot of them are very successful on their respective lives, others who are not, but they are still happy in their own way.
I feel you are too angry, which is only normal at this age. I was too. Although I was (and is) not a woman, so I can never understand what exactly you feel, but I can get very close to it just from experience.
If you want influencers, reals ones, please look up Jessica Watson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Watson
There is a movie made on her recently, I have watched it. It is rather nice. It is on Netflix
Of course there are exceptions from the norms dada, but lately, the number of exceptions are dwindling. I know there are good influencers and active voices out there who are actually doing what matters, and I also know there are many many successful women who rose above everything. What upset me is this new wave of ignorant females we have now, who think they are leading the feminist activities, without harbouring the minimum knowledge about the history, or about anything really. They are not intellectuals. Half of them don't even know how to think properly.
I just wish that the number of exceptions we have of wonderful, successful and truly knowledgeable women would've been more than what we have now.
And okay dada, I'll watch the movie. I read her wiki page and damn I am impressed.
