Women face a complex relationship with the desire to want, often feeling that they should replace their desires with societal expectations. By prioritizing what they "should" do, women may lose touch with their personal wants, leaving the question of desire feeling foreign. Societal conditioning portrays wanting as selfish, instilling a belief that personal desires need validation. Wanting is often unfairly associated with laziness and immaturity, while acting out of duty is seen as virtuous. The tension between wanting and shoulding shapes emotional experiences and personal aspirations for many women.
Women often find it difficult to embrace their desires, replacing "want" with "should," which leads to a disconnection from their true aspirations.
The feeling of wanting is frequently viewed as selfishness, as societal conditioning makes women question their right to pursue their own desires.
