Breathe
By Regina Reyes-Heroles
"It's literally impossible to be a woman.
You're so beautiful and so smart it kills me that you don't think you're enough.
Like we have to always be extraordinary, but, somehow,
we're always doing something wrong, aren't we?
You should be skinny, but not too skinny, and never say you want to be skinny.
You should say you want to be healthy, but you should also be skinny.
You must have money but don't go asking or asking for money because it's rude.
You must be a boss, but don't be rude."
We learn about Gloria's monologue in the Barbie movie, a role played by America Ferrera.
I want to address the sentence in which he talks about money: "You must have money but don't go asking or asking for money because that is rude".
Women don't talk about money, we just have it. Nor can we think or talk about how we get it. Having doubts about money is not valid and the worst thing would be to ask for it, how could we even think of doing such a thing!
