> You want your daughter getting in fights with boys? If a boy touches her in a way that she doesn't like, or if someone corners her, I want her to do what any boy is encouraged to do. Fight her way out. (if one boy pushes another, it is expected that the pushee stands his ground. Why should a girl be any different?) I want my daughter to be pragmatic, not passive. Leadership is mostly pragmatic arrogance. (I can make these people achieve more, etc. I don't want her to believe that shes the only person to lead. ) In retrospect, arrogance is the wrong word. > This could end so poorly You wouldn't be saying this if she was a boy. The insinuation that a girl is not as strong as a boy is bollocks. The only thing that is different is expectation. I expect my girl to fucking lay bullies out. Not sit there an take it, because "girls can't punch" or some shit. > Making terrible jokes? not until she's a parent. I want her to make funny jokes
