I& #39;m grading, but always tweet random thoughts. Sorry! If you were raised as female, do you think you were raised to be the main character of your own story? Or a "supporting role" for someone else? -- good daughter, good, wife, etc. And what& #39;s your age? Just curious.

This is totally interesting. I was talking to a mom of a 16-yr-old girl who had an amazing opportunity to audition into a dream music opportunity, and her mom actually said, "But what about her husband and family if she does this?"

Like, I have NO IDEA what norms are now.

And I still occasionally (but less often that I used to) read essays by 19-21 year old women that are basically "I can& #39;t wait to be Mrs. (boyfriend& #39;s first name) (boyfriend& #39;s last name)."

*than* I used to! Gah! Typos haunt me. Sorry!
