“That this couldn’t be a grown woman just making a set of decisions for herself, right? That’s what society does to us. Touching on societal stereotypes”, she added.

“We start actually, finally going, “What am I doing? Who am I doing this for?” And if it doesn’t fit into the sort of stereotype of what people think we should do, then it gets labeled as something negative and horrible.” She said while speaking on expectations society has for women.
