I love your intentionality in this area. Misogyny can be covert, and you helped your boys become aware. I’m cheering you on as you finish your book. šŸ¤—

Still a relevant topic today unfortunately. Awesome how you used the SI magazine to teach your son and were able to engage with him and guide him to honor women and speak out against misogyny. Hope the next generation will continue to speak out against misogyny and gender equality with become the norm. Thanks for reposting.

I totally agree! With 4 boys and one daughter and now 8 grandsons and one granddaughter the males in our family have genuine respect for women. I found myself using that drill sergeant tone a time or two.

I'm not so sure about the bowing down part but I do think they are grateful.
