10 things I hope my daughter’s will see in their future:
1) Equal pay for equal work, not this 80 cents for every dollar a man makes
2) The end of Slut, whore, and any other word that demeans a woman’s sexuality. We need to stop accepting the words as regular lexicon. These words were invented to demean us. Don’t use them against each other. The word bitch is another blog entry.
3) Have their anger be validated, not seen as a result of some hormonal monthly thing. We get mad because you’re a douche not because I have a uterus.
4) Politics that no longer use our bodies as issues of debate. (FYI MOST guys I know are SOOO cool with birth control)
5) I want them to be ok with their bodies, accept every perfection and imperfection
6) A BAN ON PHOTOSHOP
7) Not feel the stigma of owning a cat without being deemed a crazy cat lady (ok that one is for me)
8) I want the be able to walk at night or alone without fear or the need to protect themselves
9) A world that teaches “don’t rape” instead of “don’t get raped.”
To be loved for who they are, not what they look like
