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.

This was the kiss I had waited for so long - a kiss born by the river of our childhood, when we didn't yet know what love meant. A kiss that had been suspended in the air as we grew, that had traveled in the world in the sovenier of a medal, and that had remained hidden behind piles of books. A kiss that had been lost and now was found. In the moment of that kiss were years of searching, disillusionment and impossible dreams.
