The source of girls' anger

There are many reasons why teenage girls specifically start feeling angry and powerless:

1. They learn about the real impact of gender-based double standards.
2. They also become aware of physical vulnerability, and experience sexual harassment for the first time.
3. They begin to encounter the cultural erasure of women. The older girls get, the the fewer women they see in positions of power and leadership.
4. They are navigating the stressful tension between managing their own sexuality and the crush of women’s pervasive sexual objectification.
