Plötzlich sind alle Feminist*innen. Bloß kann von echter Gleichberechtigung keine Rede sein. Warum wirken überholte Strukturen fort? Zur Antwort betrachtet Ann-Kristin Tlusty wie durch ein Brennglas die Zwänge, die das Leben von Frauen auch heute prägen: Noch immer wird ihnen abverlangt, sanft die Sorgen und Bedürfnisse der Gesellschaft aufzufangen. Jederzeit sollen sie dabei auf süße Weise sexuell verfügbar erscheinen, gern auch unter feministischem Vorzeichen. Und bei alldem angenehm zart niemals zu viel Mündigkeit beanspruchen.

I’m not what you’d call a man you take home to momma. I’m too rough, too mean, too...beardy. Especially compared to the woman who’s recently moved back home to open a restaurant.

Unser unermüdliches Streben danach, in allen Bereichen überdurchschnittlich zu sein, schränkt uns eher ein, als dass es uns voranbringt. Denn wenn wir scheitern oder unseren eigenen Ansprüchen nicht gerecht werden, kehrt sich Selbstbewusstsein rasch um in Selbstkritik.

Kristin Neff erforscht seit vielen Jahren die Fähigkeit, sich selbst freundschaftlich und nachsichtig zu behandeln.
