One day, my daughter will stop asking questions and develop the answers that promote a positive society:
*Where women feel safe
*Earn equal pay compared to men
*Talk openly about the Holocaust
*Refer to when women gained the right to vote
*Discuss the reality and struggle of the Civil Rights Movement
*Talk honestly about Anti-Semitism
*Discuss the racism rampant in our society
*Talk of those who suffer repeated discrimination by others
One day, we need to decide to raise our daughters to develop the answers to these questions. It’s already begun, but the urgency continues to increase with each passing s-e-c-o-n-d. It started and should never stop.
One day is NOW.
