Your gentle reminder is most appreciated and no doubt true to a great extent.
Yes it is also true that blaming is not the key which would begin to solve a
problem that is so sociologically complex and not always understood by many.
But in trying to identify a problem one always has to look for a source and in
the case of the education of daughters chances are that it is the mothers doing
most of the ''educating''. This does not mean that the fathers do not share
equal responsability because they do. But the mothers of these daughters, which
are often, closest to their daughters in intellectual and spiritual proximity,
by the simple fact that we share a ''gender'', should take it upon themselves
to help their daughters brake the chains that have held us down for so long.
Women have taken everything else ''upon'' their shoulders so seeing that their
daughters are freed of so much prejudicial discrimination will be another burden
worthwhile taking.
I see my husband as equally responsable for helping my daughter obtain the
place she deserves in society but I see myself with a responsability greater
than his because i know what it is to be a girl/woman and there are far too many
things that only a woman can really understand, know and teach from the heart...
