![]() Instead, it’s about knowing the difference between what you want and what you have been trained to want. ![]() I pondered on this one for a while because I don’t feel like I’m naturally “wild” or suppressing who I’m meant to be, but I realized the point is not just to dare to be different (Glennon would never be so cliché). We learn the body we are supposed to strive for, how to behave as a woman, and what kind of life we are supposed to want. We start learning what feelings we can express and what feelings we can’t. Glennon explains that we learn to be “good” around age 10. We’re taught to be in cages and are groomed to live a certain way. While I’m a big animal rights person and admire Glennon for raising awareness of wild animals in captivity, the point is that we are all cheetahs. She talks about a domesticated cheetah at the zoo, who probably knew all its life that something was just off. So you know that anywhere the book’s title comes up throughout the copy is something you need to pay attention to, right? Glennon name-drops the title for the first time in the prologue, so you know it’s a BFD. ![]()
