3 Internet Resolutions for Women

Ladies and gentlemen, I am back!

The last time you saw or heard from me, I‍ was 40 weeks pregnant, but I gave birth to​ my third child on November 20. I ⁣absolutely missed⁢ being here, and I am excited ‌to catch up.‍ And while it’s the New Year, I am the exact same Candace.⁣ Regardless of the year or where we are in it, I am going‌ to stand by ⁣my⁤ values ‍and instill them in my own household. I will never turn my ‍back on saying what I⁤ believe to be true in my heart.

As we enter 2024, ‌I am doing just that by setting some resolutions for women on the internet. Is it more of the “be brave” or “be stunning” lingo? Actually, no. It’s less of that. Less of all that. I absolutely think we should all set New Year’s resolutions, and since I have a platform‌ and many⁢ women follow me (some who⁣ like me, scores who don’t), I‍ thought I should outline the top three New Year’s resolutions ‍that women on the internet should adopt ⁣for ​2024. These are​ three simple goals for internet behavior.

1. Stop Posting⁣ Near-Naked Pictures On The Internet

I discussed this on my show the first week I was back. I think everyone can do this. I believe it in my heart of ​hearts. ⁣For those who are deep into the addiction of putting the parts of your body Eve sewed fig leaves for all‌ over everyone’s screens for likes and attention, take a small​ step. Try doing dry⁤ January. For the whole month of January, give it a go by not putting any of those⁤ pictures on the internet.

WATCH: Candace Owens

One day, I am going to put together a rehabilitation center for these women. I really do believe this is becoming ‍a mental disorder. I am exhausted opening my Instagram and seeing more of some‍ women than I ever want to see.‍ So if you ⁤could do us all a ‍favor and put some clothes ‍on this‌ year, I think that ⁣would make a great first goal. In all honesty,​ I don’t⁤ think we’re going to be able to accomplish​ it, but I want to challenge everyone with ‌the opportunity.

2. Stop Trauma ⁤Dumping

This ‌trend has taken TikTok‌ by storm.‍ Some TikTokers are encouraging their followers to “trauma dump” which, according to them, involves skipping boring and uninteresting small talk ⁤to share dark, vulnerable stories instead. Others are crying in their posts with a tell-all, essentially living out private parts of their⁢ life very publicly. One TikToker in particular ⁤supports normalizing crying in your car when you think⁢ of ⁣books that make you feel sad.

Though ⁣they want to “normalize trauma dumping,” I would ⁢like to do the ‍opposite. I would actually ⁤like to ab-normalize trauma dumping. Crying in ⁣your car ⁤because you think of ⁢a book? Is that really something we need to‍ normalize? I think not. Let’s not ⁢do that.

Another TikToker is “living her trauma out ⁤loud” by ‍posting what⁣ she calls a ⁣“very vulnerable video” in which she decries that ‌her husband is getting more love from their child than she is. He comes in ⁢and‍ comforts her ⁤while she cries and folds laundry.

What strikes​ me as most bothersome with this trauma dumping initiative ​is⁤ the camera set up. Before crying and folding laundry,​ the camera was set up ‍in a perfect position to capture all this. It got her, her husband, and their child all in this moment. It’s as though they start to feel sad and think, let me‌ set this‍ camera up first.

We’ve got to stop doing this. I want women to button it up this ⁤year. I want⁤ women to be more emotionally stable on⁤ the internet. Plus, ⁣I ‍just don’t think it’s healthy to grab your phone, set it up, and cry in front of a bunch of strangers.

3.⁣ Stop‌ Lying‌ To Each ⁢Other

Lena Dunham comes to mind with this resolution.⁤ She is one of the great arbiters of modern feminism — the ​feminism that tells women they should be naked ⁢all the time and overshare to any and everyone. Here’s an ⁢example:

Dunham ‍is in a string bikini (how she often appears in posts), and she shows more of her body⁢ than any of⁣ us want ​to see. But what is more‍ disturbing than the photo of Dunham in a ‌string bikini are the comments people leave: fire ​emojis, heart eyes,‍ and compliments​ telling her she’s “stunning” and “the hottest.”

I don’t know why women keep doing this. I’m not sure if they’re lying because it ⁢makes them feel good — or because they feel bad for her. But I suggest doing some⁤ soul searching to figure it out because ⁢it’s just not true. It’s a lie — and we should stop lying. You are not required to comment when⁢ you ​see a photo of someone who looks​ like this on the internet. ‌(If everyone​ would ‌just follow resolution #1, that would help some with #3.) You do not ⁢have to pretend‌ something like this post ⁣is the most amazing thing you’ve ever seen. ‌So ​please don’t.

So, those are my three resolutions for⁤ women. Near-naked posts, crying ⁢in your car, lying ⁢to each⁣ other — none of these‍ are requirements. No one is ‌asking you⁢ to do this, so let’s stop. Let’s button it up. Let’s be honest. I think if all just met​ these goals, that would be stunning and that would be brave.

Here’s to 2024. Let’s give it our best‍ shot.

‌ In what ways can women on the internet prioritize honesty and ⁣integrity⁣ in their online interactions?

Unham once said, “Honesty is more than not⁤ lying. It is truth-telling, truth-speaking, truth-living, and truth-loving.”⁢ In⁤ a world inundated with ​false information and deception, it ⁤is crucial ‌for women on the internet to embody ‌this principle of honesty.

Too often, we ⁣witness the spread of misinformation⁢ and ⁤the perpetuation of falsehoods on‍ social media platforms. Whether it be ⁤through viral rumors, fake ​news, or embellished stories, the internet ⁢has become a⁢ breeding ground for​ dishonesty. This not only erodes trust but also hinders meaningful and productive conversations.

It is ​time for women on ‌the ‍internet‌ to take a stand against this culture of deceit. Let ⁣us ⁤vow ⁤to prioritize truth and integrity in our‍ online interactions. Instead of⁣ sharing blindly, let us fact-check and verify information before disseminating it ‍to our followers. Let us be responsible ⁢digital citizens who promote accuracy and reliability.

Moreover, let us steer clear⁤ of personal dishonesty. It is essential that we⁣ are authentic and genuine in our online presence. This means resisting⁢ the temptation‌ to create and maintain ⁢a false image of ourselves or our ‍lives. Let us embrace vulnerability ⁢and share our true experiences, triumphs, and‍ struggles. By ⁣doing⁢ so, we foster an environment of trust ⁤and connection, allowing others ⁣to ‌feel ⁢safe and⁣ comfortable in sharing their own truths.

Honesty also extends ‌to the way⁤ we engage with ⁢one another on the internet.‌ Let ‌us refrain from ‍spreading harmful rumors ‌or ‍engaging in online harassment. Instead,⁤ let us practice empathy and compassion, seeking to understand and uplift​ one another.‌ We can​ create ‌spaces that encourage ⁣open and honest dialogue, where ‍diverse ⁤perspectives are respected and‌ valued.

In ‍conclusion, as we⁢ enter the year‌ 2024, let us make a commitment to honesty as women on⁣ the internet. By refraining⁣ from posting near-naked pictures, avoiding trauma dumping,⁣ and ceasing to spread ⁤lies, we can foster a more authentic and trustworthy online community. Let ⁤honesty be our guiding principle as we navigate the digital landscape and make a ​positive impact on the lives of others.

Thank you for welcoming me⁤ back. I am excited to embark on this⁢ journey with ‌you all ‌once again.
