“I get out of all your boxes, I get out.
You can’t hold me in these chains.”
Lauryn Hill/I Get Out” (MTV Unplugged 2.0)
Freedom for women means accepting that women have the right to make our own choices — personal, spiritual, creative, and intimate — without commentary or criticism from other women.
The miseducation of Lauryn Hill
We rarely question men this way.
We don’t police how they dress.
We don’t demand to know whether they worship, how they wear their hair, who they love, or how they define their peace.
And no matter what they do, we never accuse them of not “standing with men.”
Even conversations about sex and sexuality are too often centered around men’s delight, men’s approval, and men’s comfort.
Women’s bodies are discussed like public property, while our pleasure, privacy, safety, and boundaries are treated as secondary.
It’s time to break that pattern.
So let’s keep the same energy for women.
Let women live.
Let women choose.
Let women explore, grow, and define what love, intimacy, and faith mean for themselves — without being shamed for it.
Because when women support one another’s autonomy — when we defend each other’s right to be complex, evolving, and free — we create a world where every girl learns that her choices are sacred, her boundaries are valid, and her self-definition is her birthright.
“I get out… no more chains of manipulation.” — Lauryn Hill
