Girls Sexuality Quotes

“Young women today are sold the idea that sexiness is the same as sexuality, that being desirable is more important than understanding their own desires.”

“Sexual entitlement has become the latest performance, something girls act out rather than experience. By the time they are teenagers, the girls I talk to respond to questions about how their bodies feel, questions about sexuality or desire, by talking about how their bodies look.
They will say something like "I felt like I looked good".
Looking good is not a feeling.”
― Deborah Tolman

“We are learning to support girls as they 'lean in' educationally and professionally, yet in this most personal of realms, we allow them to topple.
