It’s been only about 50 years or so where a woman could get her own checking account without a husband. Girls have just recently started to be pushed towards STEM programs.

Think about how you talk to little boys and little girls. Boys get told how smart they are, how strong they are, how clever they are. Girls get told how pretty they are. Of course not everyone does this, and it’s becoming less common because people realize how detrimental this kind of praise is, you I should say lack of praise is for little girls.

So dads on here, next time you tell your daughter she’s pretty, tell her how freaking awesome and smart she is too!
