I might complain about the work I have to do for my woman's studies classes, but I know I've been changed. Completely. They've taught me so much already that, for the most part, have never crossed my mind before and I know I'll carry the lessons with me for the rest of my life. I want to teach my daughters not to feel ashamed of their bodies and to respect themselves. I want to be able to talk to them about sex before they get the wrong ideas from someone else. To ignore the stupid shit they find in magazines that tell them how to dress and to act and how to please a man. I want them to be proud of who they are and not back down from a conflict just because they're girls and it's not lady-like to stand up for yourself. To be the help that I didn't get growing up.
