And while you’re waiting for that, you might want to take a moment to check out this article about the good girl archetype.
‘Good girl’ conditioning is something I speak about a lot at the School of Visibility.
Here’s ↓ a snippet of the article to give you a taste of her;
The good girl is an archetype that keeps a woman small; in her place.
This happens through stories.
Stories that begin early. As fairytales of helpless females waiting for a man to sweep them off their feet and carry them away to their dream life.
No female autonomy. No question of the woman’s wishes. If a man comes along, surely she’d be thrilled. Consent is assumed. Her job is to wait. And be good. And to smile and be pleasant.
The messages sound like this; ‘Don’t make a fuss. Don’t break the rules. If you want to get your own way, do it with subtlety. Do it with a happy face. Don’t openly ask for what you want. Hint at it. Hope for it. Whatever you do, don’t get angry. Always present a congenial and welcoming demeanour. Comply. Comply. Comply.’
