Shedding for humans.

I believe I'm quite "woke" as its called these days. Trying to keep up with the times and all the terms that come along with it. Be it politics, nature conservation, animal rights or equal rights, I'm interested in it all. I wanna know it all.

However, 90% of times everything that humans think or the way they behave is because of social conditioning. Social conditioning can be different for different humans. It basically just means that you've learnt something from the environment you've grown up in. So if you've been hit a lot as a child, you will also learn to hit others and think that it's right to do that.

Like girls are generally taught that they should be the ones covering up their bodies instead of teaching boys that no one should be objectified.
Or like boys are taught not to express emotions because that's what girls do. Years of seeing, hearing or being made to feel something seeps into our brains and becomes our reality, the norm.

I was also socially conditioned to consider the female body as sacred and revealing too much skin as vulgar. But once I started peeling off all the layers of social conditioning, my opinion changed. Its one's choice to portray/express themselves the way they deem fit.

And lastly, purpose is of extreme importance. No matter what kind of content it might be as long as it serves the purpose of its creator, its good enough to be out there.

So the next time, you're forming an opinion, peel off all your layers of social conditioning and see if that opinion still remains valid.
