I tell my daughters that all the time but if Repubs get more control, they will limit their freedoms. Scares the hell out of me really.

women. Between them and my Mother and other female family members they instilled that quality in me. I have a son only but if I had a daughter I would want them to never be a doormat to a man. I work with only men and even though I am the office manager all of them respect me and know I am no doormat. I could never just accept being a stay at home Mother it was my desire to work. F these republican men who want me back in he kitchen. Yeah for the young girls who are being empowered at a young age. We won't and will not allow these rethugs to put us down and back in the kitchen. Vote women for all the mothers, daughters, sisters and friends for if we do we will win in November. Remember a vote for a republican is a vote to lose rights.

And they were strong and powerful and hardly what you'd consider doormats to anyone!

As many of our protesting sisters have written on their signs lately - "Women Will Remember In November!" Here's hoping so. We've worked awfully hard to reach this point - where we've made such inroads that the Troglodytes who want to reverse progress and turn back time to some imaginary "Father Knows Best" days want to take those gains away from us. And in many cases they're getting close to accomplishing that! All they need is one more nice agreeable president to appoint some nice friendly activist judges...

Maybe you have to have been a girl, especially who didn't believe girls could do anything, to feel the impact of that. How different things are these days. When I was a girl, no one, I mean no one, ever told me or any other girl that I know of that we could do anything. We knew what was expected. A husband, children, if we had to work then get an education to be a teacher or nurse. But the rich girls wouldn't be working, it was assumed. We were not expected to be good in science or math.

How very different things are. And how wonderful.

I have two little girls (2 and 4 years old) and I'm working hard on their self esteem from the start. My wife is a hardocre feminist and she has really opened my eyes to a lot of the suddle differences in which women and girls are treated in society. I've taken these lessons to heart.

Mostly they seem like little things, but they make a difference. For instance, the first thing girls get complimented on is there looks. Instead, I try to compliment my girls on their brains or their creativity first.

I love my girls (and I immagine anyone else with daughters feels the same way about their kids too) and I want them to grow up as strong and well prepared to accomplish anything they want to accomplish in life as they can.

As a father of a beautiful successful daughter and someone who has always championed women's equality and rights, I know my daughter has a much more complete picture than the one espoused. Yes in every struggle, the victims, and the oppressed lead the march but others in empathy and concern support them and help them succeed. My wife knows this and my daughter too. I only hope this child grows up understanding her father was probably on her team too.

Glad you're here, daybranch and Victor_c3! We need you men, especially, in this particular fight. It's about the women you clearly love.

We've got an election to win and progress to SAVE!




Now get to work.
