Most people aren’t even aware that they are limiting the dreams of
girls. Most aren’t conscious of the fact that they are shaping the
dreams of their daughters and female students into a sexist ideal or a
misogynist fantasy. Not only do men do this, but women too. This can be
corrected. I was raised in a sexist culture. I need constant instruction to
overcome my innate assumptions that are drilled into me by our
misogynist society. I’m glad to be married to a strong woman. I’m glad
to have a strong daughter. I’m glad to have strong women for friends.
