(1,474 posts)When my daughter was young (starting around grade 3) we played the "Don't take shit from men game".
I would say misogynistic or stupid things and she would respond how she wanted.
Me: You are just a girl
Her: You are just an asshole
Me: Men are smarter than women
Her: That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard
We did this several times a week for years. I wanted her to be practiced in standing up for herself and for women.
She is indeed a "nasty woman" now (age 34). And I am a very proud father who was a single parent.
