Episode #55: Double Standards
In this episode, This Realm of Existence Blog & Podcast creator and host, Sharron W., talks about the infamous black sheer dress worn by Keke Palmer at a recent Usher concert, and the narrative of bodily autonomy for women.
Are there different standards for mothers vs. non-mothers on what is considered appropriate attire? Does it matter if the woman is in a relationship or not? There is a very common narrative that often denies women agency and bodily autonomy. A grown woman is the owner of her body, and can wear whatever she pleases. To try to dictate how a woman chooses to present herself to the world seems a bit controlling.
Sharron hopes to serve as a catalyst to ignite a fire within to encourage and motivate others through both written and spoken word, to go after all of their goals and dreams and to live their best lives in this realm of existence.
