Interesting question. Society especially from a western perspective, we are taught from very early on by all media and school what success should look like i. e. nice new model car, nice house in a nice neighborhood, certain salary bracket etc combined with our physical appearance.

The reality is most us can't afford a new year model car and a nice house in a nice neighborhood or land that coveted job position or look like that magazine model.

As a result since we been brainwashed by society we feel like we have failed at life because we haven't met those standards and goals which society tells us we need in order to be viewed as successful.

So, yes society gives women or rather tries to make women feel less than at a targeted subconscious level if women don't fit a certain acceptable weight, body shape or hair style and texture etc.

The brainwashing starts early in youth and isn't easy to rid off.

I think society gives everyone a low self worth,


Men want women to be something they’re not and women want men to be something they’re not,


Women have to be pretty and slim with curves and big boobs, must obey and have kids they must also look after the house and clean and cook,


Men have to be the worker and bring home the money they have to shut up about how they’re feeling have no emotions told never to feel it, they have to be big and strong and manly.


Men and women can be anything they want a man can cry and have emotions he can also be effeminate and look after himself,


A woman can be a worker and not want kids,


People have to stop wanting impossible things from both men and women.

No. Quite the opposite. Maybe it does unintentionally but otherwise, modern Western society now goes out of its way to kiss women's asses and prop them up with false confidence. It's other women, who give women low self esteem. Society sure as hell gives MEN low self esteem, though.

They do it to themselves! They think they HAVE to look exactly like those Photoshopped models in the magazines and go to bizarre lengths to acquire that when, chances are, they were perfectly fine before they started!! The only ones that MAKE them think that way are THEMSELVES!!

Nope, it even goes as far as glorifying them and telling them they're a 'queen' and entitled to the for being fat and not shaving their body hair.

Probably the reality TV shows that started in 2009 caused it, cause after the Kardashians. Teen mom, 16&pregnant, New Jersey Shore, and all the other bs shows it seems like tons of people became brainwashed.
