HOW WE’RE DEEPLY WOUNDING OUR GIRLS (AND HOW TO STOP)



HOW WE’RE DEEPLY WOUNDING OUR GIRLS (AND HOW TO STOP)

It happens all the time, sometimes in 3 words or fewer.
Our girls hear the kind of insult that makes them feel like less. Here’s how it works…
Imagine your name is Kristy. At the school, other kids tease each other like this:
“Stop being such a Kristy.” “Ha, ha! You did that just like a Kristy!” “You run like a Kristy.”
Imagine your peers insulting other people with your identity. It’s like they’re saying that to be you is unacceptable or undesirable in some way.
That’s what happens to our girls (sadly) on a regular basis.

"You throw like a girl"  -  The insult that hurts every girl!!
