In A Woman’s Beauty: Put Down or Power Source?‚ Susan Sontag elaborates on the internal hardships women face due to societal gender roles that have existed for millenniums.

For example‚ if five people were running in a race‚ only one will win. There is no doubt as to who ran faster. There is also no need for anyone to judge such competitions. These competitions also affect
