" Quotes and Sayings About pretense

We teach girls shame. “Close your legs. Cover yourself.” We make them feel as though being born female they’re already guilty of something.

And they grow up — and this is the worst thing we do to girls — they grow up to be women who have turned pretense into an art form.
