Don't Raise Obedient Girls...

What people need to do, especially young

girls, especially young girls. I have a

daughter who's 17. You need to think, am

I being influenced by authority, is a am

I seeing authority or a good person?

Because especially for the female brain,

it's hardwired to respond to like male

authority, like tribal leader status.

And that bypasses a lot of your critical

ability. Is this the right thing to do?

Should I be doing this? Is it healthy?

And I would say this to moms and dads

everywhere. This starts when they're

four. This starts when they're three and

they go to the doctor. And your behavior

around that doctor will dictate how they

behave around authority. Well, you tell

your kid like that doctor is your

employee. You tell the doctor what to

do. You tell the doctor the problems.

The doctor works for you. I'm not

telling my kid to be a dick. We're still

respectful. We say, "Mr., Mrs., yes,

ma'am." But you're in charge of that

doctor. So, we start teaching early on.

Recognize the difference between

authority and perceived authority.
