I think what our First Lady is doing is wonderful.
I have a 22 year old son, who's a college student, and a 25 year old married daughter, who is a teacher. So I see this from both sides.
I love the fact that young women are groomed to know that they can be anything they want to be. I tried to instill that in both of my children.
However, young men without a strong parental base may be slipping through the cracks, at the expense of those educators with a feminist agenda. Laura Bush is very astute to realize this, as not many have.
Laura will go down in history as one of the the greatest First Ladies ever. I'm sure she has much more to offer us in the next four years, and I'm looking forward hearing it.
I disagree. My wife and I have come across countless cultural instances where girls are to be "domestic" and to some degree, "bratty" or "bitches." Browse through a toy or parenting magazines, and you'll see girls playing with dolls or kitchen toys while boys play with telescopes or trucks. Ever seen some of the new girl oriented TV or dolls? WOW! The next generation seems to think they are to get what they want and an extra ten bucks for their trouble
She will if she follows this agenda.

Same for the girls of the hip-hop generation, except their cultural influences say it's ok to dress like a slut and act like a ho.
