Very well put. Personally I think she's going at it the wrong way at it, but it's not just her. This idea that you will recapture a certain maturity by copying elements of what made a beautiful self assured woman, not a girl, in the past, instead of understanding women now days, puts me off completely.
I hardly see any self assured women at all. People capitalize so much on women's group pressure mentality that I really don't think there are many left. Basically, either a person isn't deserving enough to be self-assured and be treated well or they're simply so highly strung because all the contortions they have to go through in order to come close to perfection that they've lost their ability to enjoy themselves. Let me ask you - where is Janis Joplin of today? Someone who would just let down their hair and let go - and be f-ing brilliant - and - be recognized for it even if she wasn't "perfect".
And that is the sole reason why going back to the roots, retrieving the sense of self and women's right to have fun and be relaxed, might be necessary.
