Dear Daughter,
The world into which you have been born is complex and, at times, deeply troubling. I want to express my sincerest apologies for the inequalities you will inevitably face as a woman. Society often fails to recognize your worth as equal to that of a man, and for that, I am truly sorry. There will be individuals who underestimate you solely based on your gender, viewing you as inferior simply because of the sex you were assigned at birth.
I regret that people will judge you based on your appearance, particularly the clothing you choose to wear. Your intelligence, kindness, and courage may go unnoticed if you don a miniskirt or knee-high boots. Some will attempt to shame you, using derogatory terms like “slut” and “whore,” cloaking their judgment in a guise of propriety. They are the ones in need of a lesson in decency, not you. Remember, don’t let their narrow views dictate your sense of self-worth.
I apologize that your journey to prove your intelligence will be fraught with challenges simply because you are a woman. Your insightful arguments may be dismissed as “too sensitive” or “too emotional.” It pains me to think that your ideas might not receive the attention they deserve due to your gender. Don’t let their misguided perceptions silence you. Keep asserting yourself and advocating for others.
Regrettably, your brother may find life easier due to the privileges afforded to him as a man. If you both pursue the same career, it is likely he will earn more for the same work. Promotions and recognition that you rightfully deserve may be elusive, simply because of gender biases. I hold onto hope for change, but it is vital for you to be prepared to navigate these challenges with confidence and resilience.
I’m sorry that some may perceive your emotional expression as a weakness. The natural cycle of menstruation may lead others to unfairly judge your behavior or emotions, labeling them as mere PMS. Never let anyone shame you for your natural bodily functions—your body is a part of you, and it deserves your respect.
If you choose to become a mother, know that society may question your dedication to your children if you work outside the home, labeling you as neglectful. Conversely, if you decide to stay home, you might be viewed as taking the easy route, with your efforts dismissed as less valuable. Ultimately, choose the path that ignites your passion, whether it involves children or a career, or both.
I apologize for the disheartening reality that the world may not afford you the same respect you receive within our home. Yet, I want to emphasize that there is hope. Many are tirelessly advocating for a brighter future for you and girls everywhere. We are engaging with lawmakers, participating in protests, and raising our voices on social media. We are determined to create change.
We fight for your rights to reproductive choices and bodily autonomy. We demand equal pay for equal work and challenge the culture of victim-blaming. We are committed to ensuring you and future generations have opportunities for a better life.
The path of a woman is not easy; it can be riddled with obstacles and ignorance. But do not lose sight of your strength, my dear. Being a woman is a profound and beautiful experience. You are capable, intelligent, and courageous. Stand tall and make your mark on this world.
With all my love,
Mom
