[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two girls 7 and 9 and I tell them “the world does not like women” and I show them examples of this playing out. [/quote]

Why not show them people uplifting women and girls to balance it out? Why prepare them for a life of perceived limits?[/quote]

Agree.  That is so incredibly f--ked up to be telling young girls that.

My dad was a wonderful figure in my life (and my brother and sister's).  He didn't treat my sister and I any differently than my brother.  We weren't 'princesses'.   We were encouraged in sports and STEM and anything we wanted to do--no matter if in the 70s/80s it was a 'male' thing.  He was also tough on us.   My competitive sports team was filled with very tough girls who had no qualms about going into school and speaking up in class or beating the boys in the 600m run in the Presidential fitness test:).

Every girl from back then is absolutely thriving, has great male relationships, leaders in their areas.

Giving your girls a chip on their shoulders and instilling this man-hater stuff is incredibly bad for them, and ultimately their self-esteem.  Their world is their oyster right now.

I look at women like Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Condoleezza Rice and Madeline Albright...they went out and did their sh*t and got mad respect for it.[/quote]
