Define good…

So, I ask you:

What is exactly being GOOD?

It’s certainly not what boys are expected—and praised—to be: it’s not being bold, daring, risky, sharp, smart, and independent.

Being a good girl, a cool good girl, is mostly about being easy-going, adaptable, empathetic, soft, and willing to please others but herself. Otherwise, you’re instantly branded: a whore, a lunatic, pure evil, a selflish and entitled Bitch.

Women who dare to call it like they see it without sugarcoating or being overly diplomatic are portraided as troublemakers and undesirable. they are the vilans and the Witches. So, we behave, we become nice, inoffensive, innocuous, and powerless. We become Estella from Cruella (2021), even worst: We become goods.

Even though we all see through the charade.We shred our wholeness, clinging to survival by sacrificing our true selves, We do it anyway; at least we will be loved and protected, they promised. We all know it’s a scam. But at least we’ll be liked. And we all know it’s a scam. You’ll just be used and with very few chances to survive.

Best case scenario, we’ll become easy targets for domination and submission. We’ll never achieve our higher potential; we’ll never come close to that. Be good, they say. So we obey, and become harmless goods. Goods.

But then a miracle happens: the untamed resurfaces, daring us to wake up: EMMA THOMPSON ( Beautiful creatures, Cruella) or Charlize Theron (snow white and the huntsman) : “the evil.” Our true nature, smothered and suffocated, struggles to breathe, then erupts, scorching everything in its path with righteous anger—Lilith—.

This repressed side of us, lets resume it in LILITH, is daring and scary: she’s pushing us to leave the well-behaved girl act behind and become a fearless female.

We know we will be accused and persecuted like her if we listen, so we pull the most cowardly betrayal: even before men take care of it, we do it ourselves with our bare hands. We kill our own wild sister and hand over the body as proof of submission to the master. We sacrifice her.

Instead of listening carefully to this voice from our repressed nature, we hunt it down, we condemn it, we confine it and then we kill her like we did to Medusa.

“Look, I killed her, I silenced her. She won’t be threatening you anymore. I’m not like her. I’m good. I’m your good. Please don’t hurt me. Please love me.” We say with our daily acts.

Nothing more pathetic, but we are pleased to do it, aren’t we? Are we lost for good ?

Female nature is hybrid, complex, and rich, yet we have been deprived of one side because it wasn’t appropriate for this male-ruled world. The more we repress our power, the more polarized we become, leaving that side as “extreme”—Lilith—.

The “GOOD girl”, lets call it EVE —who is nothing more than just good—must die for the true, whole, and complete female nature to be reborn. Is she ready ?
