Me too. She's a thoughtful, intelligent person, but I don't think it ever occurred to her to question what was underneath the post. She saw that women should be valued, and agreed, which she can hardly be blamed for. Most of us do this.
I know how you feel. I'm starting to think more and more about how I want to frame things to my own daughter as she grows up. I don't want her vulnerable to the kind of advantage-takers I was, but like you say, I don't want to shame her either. It's tricky, which is why I included the paragraph about an alternative view. It'll take some honing, I think, but there are other, more powerful ways to approach the situation.
