Very few individuals are gifted with the character and charisma required to ignite true change in the hearts of large groups of people by just "telling." Dr.ML King Jr. comes to mind as one and I'm sure there are others...BUT....

most of us "everyday folk" impact change in a grass roots kind of way. One-on-one, from the ground up through personal relationships. Frankly with only minor exceptions...the ONLY way to real and lasting change moves from one heart to another...SO...

Why in the world is raising daughters and sons who understand their value as individuals, believe that they can acheive whatever they are willing to work to get, and view relationships (romantic and otherwise) as partnerships with individuals of equal and immeasurable value...Why is that NOT "feminist?"

As far as "advancing the cause of feminism" is concerned....what could be more important?
