We Need To Start Talking About Child-rearing

The Gender Stereotypes Introduced In Childhood Are Reinforced Throughout Our Lives And Become Self-fulfilling Prophesies. Most Leadership Positions Are Held By Men, So Women Don't Expect To Achieve Them, And That Becomes One Of The Reasons They Don't.

All Of Us Want The Same Things. We Want To Be Good To The People Around Us And For Our Lives To Have Meaning. For Me That Means Making The World A Little Bit Easier For Women.

I'm A Feminist Because I Believe In Women... It's A Heavy Word, Feminism, But It's Not One I Think We Should Run From. I'm Proud To Be A Feminist.

I Don't Pretend There Aren't Biological Differences, But I Don't Believe The Desire For Leadership Is Hardwired Biology, Not The Desire To Win Or Excel. I Believe That It's Socialization, That We're Socializing Our Daughters To Nurture And Our Boys To Lead.

I Would Love To Meet J.k. Rowling And Tell Her How Much I Admire Her Writing And Am Amazed By Her Imagination. I Read Every 'harry Potter' Book As It Came Out And Looked Forward To Each New One. I Am Rereading Them Now With My Kids And Enjoying Them Every Bit As Much. She Made Me Look At Jelly Beans In A Whole New Way.
