raising girls

We have just been to a talk by Peter Janetzski on 'Raising Girls'.  A very interesting night, and here a few things I learned.

- I am an equity feminist, not a gender feminist
- We need to be honest and up front with the girls about 'the talk'
- we should advocate strongly against culture influences of over-sexualising our children, and let them play more (see Collective Shout)
- I should tell my girls how much they are worth and what they mean to me, and how beautiful they are!
- family role modeling is very important

I am sure there is more - but I am tired and need to process.

hmmmmmmmmm
processing..........
