Summary

This quote suggests that while there has been progress in raising daughters in a way that empowers them and promotes equality, society struggles to do the same for sons. It challenges the norms of traditional gender roles by emphasizing the need to instill qualities typically associated with daughters - such as empathy, emotional intelligence, and an understanding of equality - in our sons. It implies that it takes courage to break free from societal expectations and redefine masculinity, encouraging a more inclusive and balanced approach to parenting.
