Beware of men who use words that relate pejoratively to females when describing the 'other side.

This toxic striving for perfection is a female thing. How many men obsess about being perfect? For men, generally, good enough is good enough.

When you think you can't do any more repetitions, do two more.

Refuse to be afraid that we will no longer be considered attractive and acceptable when we are strong.

Adult women, all of us, have to come to grips with how we have been affected by gender norms, and how we have been silenced. We have to help our daughters. Understanding it within ourselves and helping our young girls stand up for themselves is one way.

Telling lies and showing off to get attention are mistakes I made that I don't want my kids to make.

Everyone should know that feeling of overcoming fear and mastering something. People who aren't taught that become soggy.
