I am so glad we are talking about this ....girls.
And it completely impact the boys too.
I wish we could begin to discuss both.....girls and boys at the same time in the same discussion. Then I feel we will begin to tackle the entirety drift that is occurring currently. Since I am asking for my wishes ...... I wish we could find the wide range of balanced enough so we could teach it as a parent and as an adult who can provide influence on children between birth to 18 and in high school years of age.
I would think female empowerment would require the opposite of monthly botox injections...the knowledge that female power does not equal whether men find you fuckable or not.
