This article is very interesting to me, http://everydayfeminism.com/2016/05/teaching-consent-doesnt-matter/.  On one hand it is truth about growing up as a girl, and on the other hand the writer has had her own bad experiences with her parents saying things are no big deal, when they are.  I was always a very independent person, even as a girl, felt very strong about who I surrounded myself with, strong in my sense of self, and love of self.  I feel my parents were a big part of creating a space where my strength and independence was encouraged and utilized, but it also was deep within me.

My daughter is the strongest person I know, not easy as a parent, but I do not worry about her at all in her life, she is tough inside and outside, and no one will ever mess with her.  It is deep inside of her, and I am happy because life will happen, and it will be up to her to say no, walk away, get help, and be strong in her boundaries.
