Peace & Blessings
I truly believe that when women (or anyone for that matter)have low self-esteem, it is because they were never taught or conditioned to think much of themselves.
My parents have always encouraged me, coached me, educated me and basically...molded me and they also criticized me. But, when they criticized me, it was constructive and always presented well. When I see parents yelling at their children in the street and worst of all cursing at them...calling them everything but a child of God, it sickens me. My parents never cursed at me and, of course, I got yelled at; but, never in the street (Mommy waited until we got home
So,when you treat a child like they are nothing, then they grow up to act like nothing and think nothing of themselves.
