Transcript

If a father allows a daughter to rebel against him. "No, daddy." And the father goes, "Wow, I like that you use your voice." You have now given her a prototype on how to handle the patriarchy. As opposed to what do some fathers do when they rebel against them? They can say, "You're being irrational. Being stupid. That's not smart." The fact that she's pushing, even if it's a bad decision, the act of regulating and activating and activating of daring to speak up plus father. Right. She's bold now. And the mother can empower her. And how the mother talks to you, is not scared of the father. And the father backs off, not capitulate, but backs off. You are now teaching her that strength doesn't mean that I have to, you know, give my power away. Strength means I can share power.
