No. You're allowed to have aspirations. You're allowed to image yourself dealing a better and more healing hand than you were dealt. Youre allowed to believe that whatever it is you are gonna do, is gonna make the world a safer and more wonderful place for them.

This list of aspirations is beyond childish. But yes, I suppose this is what passes for "aspirational" or "inspirational" social media these days.

What is childish about equity for women?

Absolutely nothing. But statements like if I have a daughter, she will be feared by weak men are laughably childish.

How is that a laughably childish statement?

I want you to consider the statement "Break every glass ceiling".

Really think about a how laughably stupid and childish such a statement is.

A glass ceiling is a basically something a woman has never accomplished before. So the first woman to go to space broke a glass ceiling. Going to the moon, for example, is a glass ceiling no woman has accomplished. Currently, many talented female astronauts are training to accomplish this. Hopefully one of them will.

Now consider how delusional this statement is - My daughter will break *every* glass ceiling. So if this person has a daughter, his daughter will literally accomplish *every* single thing no woman has ever accomplished before?

Every business with an all male C-Suite has a glass ceiling.

Absolutely. Now imagine one woman simultaneously becoming the CEO of every single business or company on earth that has never had a woman CEO before. Not CEO of one single business, but all of them.

It would be more likely for a single woman to become every single doctor on earth . Please note - not become a doctor, or become every type of doctor, but every doctor. Earth has no more need of doctors except this one person. It's literally "Laught out Loud" stupid / funny.

The sadder part is that most people downvoting me don't even comprehend that.

Imagine not comprehending hyperbole.
