It helps build their confidence
I think this quote is explaining how girls are taught from the beginning, shame. When girls turn into women, they believe they must be quiet, they must be happy, and they must be perfect. I disagree with this quote for this generation. I believe that we have broken through those previous barriers and are now teaching women strength, courageousness, and the power to be ourselves. I do agree with the line, "they grow up to be women who have turned pretense into an art form.". From my experience, I believe that women cannot have the same emotions as men, because it may come across different. A powerful woman is seen as snarky or rude, whereas a powerful man is admired.
A dystopian society is one that can be describes as imperfect or problematic. Panem is a dystopia because they deal with war and oppression on a daily basis. For example, young people are forced to participate in a televised gladiator style fight and people in lower districts are forced to live in extreme poverty.
Hope this helps
