"Once upon a time, there was a woman who did not mind breaking norms in order to be herself."

The notion of norms

Written or unwritten, widely recognized rule or rule set affecting people’s behaviour, attitudes and other aspects.

Norms and conventions serve to keep us in line. In many contexts, our norms are obsolete constructs from the past that no longer serve a real purpose.

In other contexts, they are crucial for regulating society and its many different communities. We should be critical of norms and conventions and examine what purpose they serve to avoid mindlessly living by rules that no longer serve the interests of the community or contribute to greater freedom.
