“
When you teach your daughter, explicitly or by passive rejection, that she must ignore her outrage, that she must be kind and accepting to the point of not defending herself or other people, that she must not rock the boat for any reason, you are not strengthening her prosocial sense, you are damaging it—and the first person she will stop protecting is herself.
— Martha Stout (via jolinxo)
