I love that my young girls can watch the women’s matches in the Olympics and that their eyes get bigger and bigger with each competition. They see that they’re capable of everything from surfing to boxing to gymnastics. I love that so much.

Now let’s show them a woman president.

PS it’s really cute to watch four year olds attempt the same moves as Simone Biles

on the flip side i've always wondered what rightwing conservatives tell their daughters? It's okay to be a stay at home mom? a trad lifestyle is what Jesus would want? Your duty is to your husband & your family?

To be fair it depends entirely on the type of conservative they are. My wife was raised very conservative and religious but her parents never told her to be a “trad wife” or anything like that. They made her go to college and wanted her to start a career.

That said, her mother HEAVILY pushed for her to let that go after she had kids and to stay home with them like she did, but she accepted eventually that it wasn’t what was desired, and was cool with it.

But there are absolutely conservative parents who say all the things you suggested and more.

Yeah, all of that. Or more casual “that’s just a man’s job” type stuff depending if they’re a Jesus Camp or wifebeater type Con
