Hopes For My Daughters

I have two daughters beautiful and smart, I knew that from the start. Equality with men I know is important to them. I just hope they are not in a hurry To marry. As I don't know many men who can be Right 50 percent of the time like me. And if they by chance marry some swine, Will they have to share their jail time.

Thanks. I am sure they will do fine. At least they have good self image which hopefully mean they will be likely to be more discerning. David

Thanks. I was an early Childhood Teacher for 30 years. Equality opportunity is key. Have my book "Suffer the Little Children" in soup classifieds sample chapter on link. I was Early Childhood teacher for 30 years and Equal opportunity is one thread in my book. Choice for women a larger thread. Youngest daughter engineer, Eldest daughter finishes Uni this year. Double degree. GotJob for next year. Have a young son. 3rd Year Uni. Electrical Engineer. Both girls seem happy with their choices. Appreciate nice comments David

Thanks. Science has to take the blame. Not that long ago it convinced us a women's brain was inferior and we treated girls accordingly now it leans the other way and we treat boys accordingly. Thanks for comment. David from NZ
