I was very fortunate to have had a dad that knew the importance of female strength and independence...
And who was honest & upfront about the choices available...

Live according to everyone else's terms
& be well liked...

Or
Live according to your own terms
& prepare to be well hated....

(I have always chosen the latter of the two
and have zero regrets...)

I am happy to know that something positive
has occurred as a
direct result of the Trumptopian Nightmare
we are currently experiencing!!!
Make yourself proud!!
