One of the very first memories I have of having conversation with my Dad was when I was about six and were were chatting in the kitchen about politics (yeah, I started young) and he told me never to let anybody tell me I couldn't be and do whatever I want based on my gender. That would have been very early 1980's America. It breaks my heart that in 2009, there are six year old girls being told the exact opposite by their daddy.
