"I'm not like other women", is what a pick-me-girl would typically say. And it is a thought that most women have probably had at some point. Not just as an expression of excessive overconfidence about one's own individuality but also as self-degradation: not as beautiful, not as thin. From a young age, women especially face being evaluated: The male gaze, being desired, is the most important of all currencies. When men's attention and appreciation are the most important commodity for a woman, we like to call her a pick-me girl. In her very personal essay "Pick me Girls", which she has staged together with director Christina Tscharyiski, Sophie Passmann talks about precisely this male gaze and how it has shaped her, of the ideals and images she grew up with and of the "woman I would actually have become".SOPHIE PASSMANN was born in 1994 and is an author and moderator. She has written books like "Alte weiße Männer" and "Komplett Gänsehaut" which, like "Pick me Girls", became bestsellers, and she also writes for the arts pages of the weekly newspaper DIE ZEIT. "Pick me Girls" at Berliner Ensemble is Sophie Passmann's theatre debut.
