This showed up on my Facebook feed. “Do not teach your daughters to be ‘pretty.’ Do not entomb her in a pretty pink tower and insist that only the degree of her physical appeal may set her free. Teach her to fight her way out, to consume books and spit knowledge to lesser boys who insist she is just beautiful and nothing more. Teach her to love her body not to manipulate and put a price tag on herself as a defined worth she shall be immeasurable she shall be more than this. Do not let her break herself down when the boy in kindergarten hits her because he likes her. What are you really teaching her? Pain and love are not synonymous neither are pretty and perfection. Teach her to be kind to be harsh to be demure to be wild to be sensitive to be thick-skinned But good god, Do not teach your daughters to be ‘pretty.’” Michelle K., Do Not Teach Your Daughters to Be ‘Pretty’
