[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are the ones creating this environment for the kids.

You are the ones who create pressure to succeed academically, you are the ones who are too busy to drive them to meet up with friends, you are the ones who are creating rat race to the selective colleges.

All social media posts about beauty, expense clothing, designer houses are created by women.  Men don’t post this crap.

So let’s take a hard look at ourselves.[/quote]

TRUTH. Face it.

Yes to this, absolutely.  And btw, throwing your ten year olds into your political viewpoints and shoving them down their throats instead of letting them grow into their own feelings about the world around them is ludicrous.  I live in DC and I was shocked, severely shocked, by the number of angry elementary age girls both at the Women's March (you know which one I'm talking about) wearing pink pus.... hats and throwing their middle fingers up in anger in solidarity with older women.  It was sickening, teaching them to be activists at this age, such a hard burden for them to live up to, and the anger on their little faces on the subway ride back to Bethesda, disheartening.  I would never subject my daughter to something she was not emotionally ready for, I would not create that hate in her heart.  I trust I can model a positive woman role for her without infusing her with my anger issues.  [/quote]

Really, the angry women trope? Pssst, just because women are out there protesting, and bringing their daughters and educating them, doesn't mean they are "angry" and certainly not angry for no reason. It's not creating "hate." It's educating them on their rights. It's speaking up. And FTR, the women at the Women's March are not and were not a monolith at the event or in society.

And surely, you understand that some people view teaching their girls to use their voices is a positive thing. And a positive role model. Just because your view of a female role model is rooted in the 1950's doesn't mean everyone's is. And I find your view on that point to be extremely sexist. [/quote]
