We just had our first child and she is now 10 months old. Thank you for sharing this, because I have similar concerns and questions about raising my daughter as well. I want her to be able to do anything she wants, and not be afraid to try certain things because she is a woman. We could all help bridge the gap by communicating better, and by there not being so many groups out there that instead of bringing the gender equality gap closer, they are pushing it further apart.
It is definitely doing more harm than good at the moment as the liberals are becoming aggressive extremists and shouting down all that question their rule.
With my daughter (turns 1 in a little over a week) the conversations have already started. She and I are going to talk a lot about many issues so that we can work through this life together and both be stronger individuals apart.
