One is that when it comes to what women truly deserve or are owed, it’s all too easy to fall into the trap of victim blaming. In the unjust social world we occupy, I will rarely fault a woman for not being in touch with what she is morally entitled to, or for being reticent about claiming it. But there’s a difference between stating—retrospectively, and often judgmentally—that a woman ought to have asserted herself in some way, versus hoping that my daughter and her cohort will be empowered to do so in a forward-looking manner.
