We will not have to teach the girls how to carry pepper sprays

I hope that their friends can be visited without pocket knives tucked in their skirts

I hope that their male cousins are cousins and uncles, uncles

I hope that when conversations about raising wholesome boys come up, we wont pass them off as “boys will be boys”

I hope that we will not normalize RAPE by providing options like “if you can’t fight it off, enjoy it”

I hope that “Justice4” becomes a stale hashtag

I hope that victims get justice without hassle

I hope that Police is truly our friend and government officials are accessible

I hope that we can truly say that we raised whole humans who are compassionate, kind, thoughtful, considerate, not self seeking, law abiding and most importantly godly.

I hope that This thread serves as a throwback to dark days when we toast to living as humans!
