They're presented to you as "normal." You've heard them repeated since childhood, like an unavoidable background noise. Yet, behind these habits lies violence. On Instagram, Flavie Milsonneau (@flavie.m_tca) shared a video listing eight common situations in a woman's life. Experiences that many consider innocuous\u2026 but which actually contribute to a system of constant pressure, particularly regarding the body and the place of women in public spaces. Naming them is already the first step towards dismantling them.<\/p>\n

1. To commit to "paying attention" throughout one's life<\/h2>\n

"Be careful": about what, exactly? Your skirt, your neckline, the way you laugh, walk, talk, or walk home. This constant vigilance eventually becomes normal. Yet, living in anticipation of danger or judgment is far from harmless. This mental burden, internalized from a very young age, restricts women's spontaneity and freedom. It teaches you that your safety depends on your behavior, not on the respect of others.<\/p>\n

2. Receive feedback on your body<\/h2>\n

"Have you lost weight?"<\/em> , "You've gained weight around your hips"<\/em> , "You should watch what you eat."<\/em> Remarks about physical appearance are often disguised as concern or compliments. However, whether positive or negative, they reduce your worth to your looks. But your body is not a public debate. It doesn't need to be evaluated, commented on, or analyzed. It belongs to you, in all its diversity, strength, softness, shapes, and changes.<\/p>\n

3. Depriving yourself of food because you have "already eaten too much"<\/h2>\n

Restricting yourself after a meal, feeling guilty about dessert, compensating for a moment of food pleasure\u2026 these reflexes are so common among many women that they seem normal. Yet, they reflect a damaged relationship with food, often fueled by external pressures. Eating until you're satisfied, savoring your food, listening to your body: these are simple but powerful actions. Your body deserves to be nourished, not punished.<\/p>\n

4. Enduring jokes about your weight during family meals<\/h2>\n

The infamous "We don't recognize you anymore,"<\/em> uttered between the cheese and dessert courses. The little "joking" digs about your figure, your shape, your appetite. Because it's a family affair, it's supposed to be okay. Except no, the supposed humor doesn't negate the impact. These repeated remarks to women (and sometimes not only women) can undermine self-esteem and reinforce the idea that your body is a collective issue. But your appearance is not a laughing matter. <\/p>\n
