If you could give ONE piece of advice to your daughter, what would it be?

If for some reason (e.g. this is your dying piece of wisdom) you could say just one thing to your daughter/niece etc, what would it be?

I am torn between 'never let a man talk over/down to you, your voice is just as valid and should be heard' and 'NEVER let anyone touch you in a way you don't like, except for medical necessity. If that happens, scream like fuck then run for it for fight like a demon'.

Really can't make up my mind. The first one more likely to be used (several times a day, maybe) but the second one could be life saving.

Any other thoughts?

When you're thinking "But he's not that bad", stop. Not that bad isn't good enough.

Never be dependant on a man financially, or to provide contraception.

Live your own life.

Never depend on anyone financially.

I think if you did the first one then you wouldn't need to be told to do the second one.
