[quote=Anonymous]Girls are taught to be nice and always consider how what they do affects others' feelings. They also worry about making mistakes when presenting facts and often caveat statements. Men (often) bluster ahead without worry about making mistakes. This is a setup for women to be vulnerable to gaslighting. I think the most critical skill I can teach my daughters is how to have hard conversations with people they care about. I demonstrate how to do this in my interactions with them and with their dad (my husband). I don't expect to be taken care of and treated like a queen. I do expect to be respected and loved. My husband and I are pretty equitable in our relationship and we talk about it when we are not. [/quote]
