Let us all take a moment to give thanks that Al does not have a daughter...

This is an issue that stems from how we look at little girls. We may tell our son how proud we are of him for his good grades, for his ability to fix computers, or how good he is at sports or skateboarding. What do we tell daughters? How lovely they look in their Easter outfit, how grown up they look in their swimsuit, and so on.
When was the last time you heard a grandma say to a little boy..."You look so cute in that suit." Never? That is correct.
Girls get attention for their looks, boys get attention for their accomplishments.
I just posted the above on Facebook, in reply to a link about why teen girls are so sexually active.
I must admit, it's pretty darn good for someone who spends an incredible amount of time comparing Jane Jetson and Betty Rubble, and wondering which one would be a better looking broad, assuming of course, they were real women and not cartoon characters.

Yes, Al, that is really, really good. You have the daughter thing all figured out.
