I think people are most afraid that “equality” for women is actually going to make them more powerful than men. People are concerned that a woman who has full control over her bodily functions is one that will have full control over the longevity of her species. And that’s exactly correct, and exactly the way nature created us. My hopes are that one day my daughter will be respected for her ideas and innovations, living in a society that says its okay to see a girl’s boob because everyone has them, and raising her children in a world where we tell boys its okay to show compassion and praise girls for their intellect instead of their beauty.
This is a really sweet and thoughtful piece, and it’s worth a read.
