International Women's Day: Idealization or Victimization?

In an opinion piece on International Women's Day, Zoi Stravopodi analyzes the two dominant narratives surrounding women: idealization and victimization.

The first presents women as superwomen, capable of fulfilling many roles simultaneously. The second focuses on the injustices and inequalities women face.

Stravopodi argues that neither narrative places women in a truly equal relationship with men. Idealization turns into pressure, while victimization simplifies human relationships.

The author suggests abandoning easy narratives and seeing each other as equal people.
