”To me, what hurts me, is the fact that you are told all the times: “we are equal” like “I don’t know what is your deal” like “what is your fucking issue with this or with that?” but then you realize: no, actually we are not! You are getting paid more than I. You get to have more options in terms of what you want to watch for entertainment. When you go to the movies you have 90 movies. 90 different stories that you can watch through your eyes, through the eyes of a male. And one complain that I might make - one observation - that’s actually very very truth about the fact that there isn’t enough things for us, for women out there it’s like ”shut up!” Why aren’t you happy? Why can’t you just be like every girl? Just… why do you always have to try to be the man? It’s not even about trying to be the man, it’s about trying to feel significant, trying to feel equal, trying to believe that my purpose in life was more than just be half of something else and deliver the packages, the kids to this individual so that they can glorify themselves. By the time of my 30’s and I fall in love and I have a career, I’m gonna be making less than a man, I’m gonna lose my name to a man. […] And by the time that they come back they are unattractive! (x)
What would you tell your 14 year-old self?

Attention, Writers!
Are you a woman with something to say? The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet wants you! Since launching TheConversation.tv, the companion site to the upcoming dynamic interview series on Lifetime, we have already established a place for ladies to discuss all the things that matter - from body image and relationships to career and wellness and everything in between. Now, we invite you to join our team. Are you a writer looking for an outlet to discuss women’s issues? We’d love to hear from you!
The Conversation is looking for writers from all backgrounds to contribute to the site in all capacities, from one-off pieces to regular columns. If you want to be part of this ever-growing dialogue, we encourage you to send us your ideas for a chance to become part of the site. While there is currently no pay involved, you’ll have the chance to share your voice with women from around the world!
We’re particularly looking for unique takes on popular topics - what makes you interesting and different? Those are the stories we want to hear most!
Please send a writing sample in one of our featured areas - Truth + Wisdom, Beauty, Sexuality, Wellness, Career + Finance or Love - to jenn@theconversation.tv, along with a little bit about yourself and your interest in the site. We look forward to hearing from you!
