We cannot give what we do not have. So, if we do not love ourselves, or even if we are too obsessed with ourselves, how then can we love others?Â
What Makes Us Girls examines the topic of self-worth through a modern cultural lens. Using examples from the author's life experience and the life experiences of a variety of other girls, What Makes Us Girls analyzes seven of the most common issues that result in a destructive sense of self-worth comparison, rejection, bullying, inauthenticity, purposelessness, betrayal, and guilt.Â
Every girl in the world, no matter our age or the country we are from, will have to face a battle for self-worth. Some of us will win, and some of us will lose. But those of us who win will do so for two reasons We are able to see the battle for what it is and, even more importantly, we have the right weapons to fight it.

"I downloaded this and read it in one day. Quite unintentionally! I found myself picking it up again and again throughout the day when I had a moment. While probably older than the intended demographic, I enjoyed it thoroughly, relating to a lot of Brittany's anecdotes, and also encountering the surprising truth that others have found true female friendships difficult to obtain. This book is wholly sincere and gives great, practical advice which should help any young woman navigate her way through school, college, and beyond. This being said, I will be buying it for my nieces, when old enough. Who knows? Perhaps What Makes Us Girls will become the female handbook equivalent to Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life. In short, even if you're in your 30s like me, I suggest giving it a whirl."

What Makes Us Girls And Why It All Worth It Audible Audio Edition Brittany Pettibone Nicole Pettibone Reason Books Books Reviews
- This is a book of advice to women from a self proclaimed alt right YouTube blogger. One of the greatest surprises is that it is basically common sense. It is not political at all, unless it is now political to say that a young woman should take her time and get to know the guy, and not waste her time in relationships that are destined not to be permanent.
It is sad to me that Pettibone must recognize the hookup culture as a fact of life. One of the most real pieces of dialogue in the book concerns a conversation in which two of the more popular girls make fun of her for being such a prude. Their message is that life is about fun, sex is fun, so you should do it. Don't worry.
Unfortunately, the hookup culture is so pervasive, so taken for granted, that a young man or woman who is sincerely looking for marriage cannot afford to say so. They have to play the game as if they were just in it for fun in order not to scare off potential mates.
Pettibone states the obvious in saying that if this is our outlook, our society is headed for collapse. We need solid relationships in children to perpetuate ourselves. Equally important, appoints and makes repeatedly in the book, is that our lives will be more fulfilling if they are built on stable long-lasting relationships.
A bit of criticism. The first thing that struck me as a middle school teacher is that the vocabulary is somewhat advanced. I put it through an online readability checker where it came out as somewhere between average and hard-to-read. If the target audience is teenage girls, it ought to be easier.
This is a problem I find in general within the alt right. Their use of erudition to fight the criticism that they are knuckle dragging primitives is self-defeating. If one wants to connect with an audience it is necessary to talk at their level. Be
• Succinct,
• Easy to understand
• Visually appealing
Pettibone is natural and skillful with the YouTube medium. I would suggest that she publish a series of short YouTube segments, 7 to 10 minutes perhaps, using a simple vocabulary to talk directly to her teenage audience. The topics could come right out of the book bullying, betrayal, being fake, finding a purpose and so on. She does a good job on each of these. They are not political topics.
What is called a right-wing agenda is really no more than a belief in tradition. A society can only perpetuate itself if men and women get together to form families and raise children. This book is mostly just advice on how to manage your own life such that you can do that. Look around will show that the people who for the last two generations have not adhered to tradition are dying out. They don't have nearly enough children and grandchildren to replace themselves. Those they have accept as normal all sorts of lifestyles that are inconsistent with perpetuating our culture.
I am encouraged that Pettibone and a few other YouTube bloggers such as Blonde are getting married and express the intention of having children. I hope we don't lose track of them once they get bogged down with family.
This is certainly the kind of advice that I will give to my 1-year-old daughter. The greatest blessing in my life is to now have a wife who sees things the same way Pettibone and I do. It is especially poignant for me – my two millennial daughters are unhappy, unsuccessful, and strenuously unwilling to recognize that the cultural Marxist values in which they were steeped for all their childhood are a large part of what makes them so. - I plan to order additional copies for my niece and for my friend with daughters.
This is a straight forward read that is down to earth and approachable in the use of real life anecdotes to illustrate some quite deep concepts. I found myself mentally shouting "Yes!" at some statements that revealed truths that took me decades to learn and about which whole books have been written. ( Love vs respect in male/female relationships.)
While I can't say that it carries the weight and impact of Jordan Peterson's "12 Rules for Life", it is a complementary work, and I found it thought provoking and helpful. It is certainly approachable for teens and lends itself well to helping us each realize that we are not alone in our fears and struggles. It provides a sense of hope and is itself clear evidence that we can weather storms and find our way to sunnier days.
In this time of outrage mobs and internet hate/bullying, applying the lessons contained here can produce a calmer, more well-grounded and satisfying life in the real world. Isn't that what we want for our children? And if you want that for your children, shouldn't you want that for yourself as well?
While there were a few abrupt transitions from one paragraph to another, the thread of each chapter illustrates the concept of that chapter into a cohesive view.
Highly recommended. - I downloaded this and read it in one day. Quite unintentionally! I found myself picking it up again and again throughout the day when I had a moment.

- I couldn't get past thinking about Alanis Morisette back when her big hit "You Outta Know" or whatever the title was, came out when she was 21. Everyone asked " How can 21 year old know the answer to questions that come from a lifetime's worth of experience?" I couldn't get past this while reading the book. Perhaps because I am in midlife and have experienced the many ups and downs that come with marriage, child rearing and a professional career of over 25 years, but I cannot take advice from someone who has not experienced these things, yet proclaims to know about it all. I realize it is written for the young adult in mind, but we shouldn't give them advice that is not for anyone else.
