Me, my daughter, and her mom were playing some version of catch, and I asked if I could throw the ball to her. She (playfully) said “no, girls throw better!” and threw to her mom instead.All I could think about was hearing the teasing and assumptions (some of it probably coming from me) about girls on the playground when I was a kid. No idea where she got the reverse idea, but I’m cheering it on for now. Raising a girl in 2020 is really hard and complicated. I hope she sees her gender as empowering for the rest of her life. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2PBuKYZ
