Branching off this, bodies are not inherently sexual. They are vessels for the consciousness of an individual. We are taught to be ashamed of our bodies by being told that we have to be attractive so that we are complacent and insecure.

See, shit like this makes me so mad: "Here, I've become a woman; a landscape of belly, buttocks and thighs. I am a mountain. With no one to scale me." -- A woman, only through the physical appearance of the parts that are deemed sexual. A woman, a "mountain"- a natural masterpiece- with no one to "scale" (conquer) her (body).
Branding this as "self-love" and "discovery" is just another way of telling women that they are creatures designed to be sexual objects, just backhandedly.
In addition, phrases such as "become a man/woman" are just ways to separate sexes and define gender norms as becoming whole- accepting gender roles- instead of becoming an individual. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.
