Commentary: Cloe Axelson's 6-year-old daughter asked a question over her bowl of Cheerios last week: “Mom, is it against the rules for a girl to be president?” cogwbur
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., talks with a young girl during a meet and greet after speaking at a campaign event Thursday, Jan. 2, 2020, in Concord, N.H.
My 6-year-old daughter asked me a question over her bowl of Cheerios last week. Her sister was wandering the kitchen, searching for a missing sneaker. Frozen II blared on our Alexa.There are no rules against a girl being the president, I wanted to say. Some rules — real or not — are meant to be broken, I thought. Girls can be anything they want to be!We tell them girls are just as good, just as smart, just as tough, just as deserving as boys. I hope I’m not lying.
My girls have a quote that hangs in their room, telling them they can be anything they want to be. We read picture books about strong women. We take them to baseball games. We tell them girls are just as good, just as smart, just as tough, just as deserving as boys. I hope I’m not lying. I hope I’m not setting them up for disappointment; giving them a false sense of confidence about how fair and open the world will be to them.
All roads in my house lead to Anna and Elsa these days. So, here comes Idina Menzel, in a triumphant moment in Frozen II:Sticky notes are placed around the portrait of Elizabeth Warren in Wasserstein Hall at Harvard Law School Thanking her for running for president.
