On page 375, the first few sentences were the one that stuck out to me the most.
"Many women feel ambivolent about their bodies. In significant ways women's bodies are a source of empowerment: They create life, give birth, work out, express sensuality and sexuality. On the other hand, women may perceive their bodies as too fat, too thin, painful during menstruation, or vulnerable to sexual abuse".
This stuck out to me because it holds so much truth to it. It is so hard for us to fully accept ourselves, especially our bodies, when it shouldn't be. Our bodies are capable of amazing things, yet it is hard for us to keep that in mind with the way that not only men, but other women are constantly objectifying and taking our bodies for granted.
