When delivering the 2014 commencement speech at Tufts University, Anne-Marie Slaughter urged parents in the audience to support their sons and daughters in redefining success: “Those of you who are here to celebrate the achievements of your sons and grandsons may be thinking that you did not pay for a Tufts degree -- and all of you have paid at least in some way -- for your boy to be anything other than a primary breadwinner throughout his career. But if you want him to be able to have a family of his own -- a healthy, happy family -- and if you want him someday to be able to take care of you, then you must support him in any role he chooses. And for those of you who are here to celebrate the achievements of your daughters and granddaughters, if they marry a man who makes compromises in his own career to support them, do not question what kind of provider or husband he is. He will be providing what your daughter needs most.” huff.to/1opF3N6
