@reshmasaujani: Replying to @kalesrebellion716 Since my TED talk, I've heard from so many women who found it useful in how they're thinking about their own lives and raising their daughters. I'm so grateful to see the message resonating with new audiences. For anyone interested or just coming across my page, for the first time, I wrote a book all about embracing bravery and failure over perfection. It's called Brave, Not Perfect, and you can find out more about it at BraveNotPerfect.com. As always, your messages mean the world to me. If Brave, Not Perfect has touched you, I'd love to hear about it. Thank you to all who have shared.

I've noticed my husband applying for jobs he barely qualifies for with confidence. I apply only when I 100%qualify and no confidence. wow!!!🤯

"We're NOT raising our girls to be perfect!"
The world...damn near every aspect of it...tells them they're NOT AS WORTHY and VALUABLE if NOT perfect!

Catchy sound bite. But it sounds more like nature than nurture.

What are you saying :
That’s a leap to conclude it how girls are taught. The findings don’t suggest a cause just the reality. The rest is speculation.

I don't believe we are raising them that way. I believe society is teaching this. we don't learn just at home.

My 24 yo daughter defied the norm. She majored in math, earned her MS, moved to NYC & is crushing it. I am in awe of her. She is fearless.

This is why my mantra is to approach any task with the confidence of a mediocre man

I think it's more of how boys and girls are wired, not necessarily raised. Girls like the feeling of safety, so they like feeling certain of things...

learned in my grad program girls were wired to stay within boundaries/ display perfection and boys were wired to push them/ make mistaks. this tracks.

Saving this to show my 5th grade daughter. Of my 3 kids, she’s my hardest worker by a mile. But I see the perfectionism creeping in.

When I struggle with physics I do nothing but blame myself and even call myself stupid for not understanding.

This clip and the one where the guy Ted Talks about vocal inflection making u seem correct, have the same vibe.

I have 5 degrees. My family laughs: ‘can’t make up your mind?’ and lots of jokes. If I were a man, they would be impressed.

This is also true with adults. Moms often feel like they are failing when they are doing the majority of the work

Vanna :
The problem is that I know if I'm not perfect it'll be blamed on me being a woman. If I'm brave & do not exceed expectations it's not good enough.

I’m still stuck on “at the fifth grade level, girls routinely outperform boys in every subject”. 😳
