Why raising girls frightens me a little...



I'm a feminist. I want my daughters to be feminists. Unlike generations past, I don't fear that they will face glass ceilings in education or the workplace. Instead, I fear they will equate sex with success. That their body image will determine their self-worth and self-love.

It's a problem I had, and still have, but I like to think I entered adulthood relatively unscathed. The question now, is, how do I help my daughters share my experience?
