It wasn\u2019t like this just a short time ago. A short time ago, kids were able to grow up at a healthy, natural pace. And a short time ago, a performance like the one that landed on the Grammys with Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion would have been roundly condemned by everybody.<\/p>\n<p>The people that are really getting lost at this time are young women, who are left not knowing what to do and with too few people willing to take a stand to protect them.<\/p>\n<p>When I was a kid, I was allowed to be awkward, have braces \u2014 to just be a young girl figuring it all out. I\u2019m totally dating myself here, but we didn\u2019t have social media when I was a kid. We didn\u2019t have Twitter or Facebook, and so we were not constantly being bombarded with images of women with their breasts out and always looking for attention on the internet. Not so anymore. Now, you cannot escape that toxic messaging.<\/p>\n<p>The difficult truth is that our culture has drastically changed, and so I think it\u2019s incumbent upon women \u2014 women who care about young women \u2014 to speak up and to speak out against this damaging messaging and to make sure that we are being leaders in this society. So I\u2019d like to give three pieces of advice to young women who are struggling with this new culture.<\/p>\n<p>The first piece of advice would be to remind young women that thoughts become things.<\/p>\n<p>You might think it means nothing when you put on a dirty song on your iPad or on your phone. \u201cWell, it\u2019s just music,\u201d you say. It\u2019s not just music. What you put in your ear informs your thoughts and informs your ideas about what you think the world should look like \u2014 including what freedom is. It is not freedom to wear less clothes. In fact, I would say that\u2019s a form of slavery. If the only time you feel like you can be seen and heard is when you are stripping down, you are selling your dignity and your self-respect. And for what? A little bit of attention. In my opinion, that\u2019s not a very good exchange.<\/p>\n<p>My second piece of advice: morality is hard, but it\u2019s more rewarding.<\/p>\n<p>I say this as someone who took a very liberal route to conservatism. You\u2019re young, you\u2019re going to make mistakes, and that\u2019s to be expected. But young girls also need to know that it\u2019s important to pick morality. It\u2019s hard in school when you\u2019re feeling all of the peer pressure, and especially when you have people on Instagram telling you that it\u2019s normal at 15, 16, to be getting Botox and lip injections. If you choose morality, in the end, you will be rewarded for that. I can guarantee you that.<\/p>\n<p>The last piece of advice is that modern feminism leads to unhappiness.<\/p>\n<p>I want you to take a look at all of the women right now that we hold up as idols in this society, that the media tells us are so great, the celebrities we\u2019re told to worship. I want you to ask yourself a very simple question: Do you think that those women are happy? Look at their lives. Do you think that the women screaming into the Twitter-verse are happy? Are they fulfilled? When you look around at them, does it seem like they have what you would want? Are they fulfilled in their relationships? Are they fulfilled in their families? Or are they looking for that sort of attention precisely because they are unfulfilled?<\/p>\n<p>I cannot think of a single person today who says, \u201cI\u2019m a feminist,\u201d who I would want to exchange lives with. That\u2019s why I have dumped feminism. The truth is feminism is no longer about equality, it is the opposite. In many ways, it brings us back to old, antiquated ideas of what it means to be a woman that actually \u2014 and quite ironically \u2014 favors the patriarchy rather than tearing it down.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for actual freedom and true happiness, protect your mind, pursue morality and reject the false message of feminism. And take heart in knowing that there are those of us who will fight the good fight, who want the best for you and will have your back.<\/p>\n<p><em>Candace Owens is an American writer, producer, conservative commentator and the host of \u201c<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/show\/candace\"><em>Candace<\/em><\/a><em>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
