I have kept that part of my life secret because I was ashamed - I didn't know other women went through it too. I guess, the truth is, only once that cycle is exposed to the light can we stop it and make sure our daughters don't fall prey to the same thing.

I mean, it's what every animal does in the entire Universe. Attract a mate to reproduce. You hardly ever hear of a happily alone Gorilla or duck with a lot of self worth independent of finding a mate and reproducing. Why would that be our goal? The question I've been asking myself is why is it wrong or dangerous to do what we naturally do - attract a mate? It's not my definition of self worth now - because I already have children. I'm thinking what I'd like to teach my daughter is to have a high standard about which mate to attract. Well, it’s a primary biological function – to attract boys.
