I'm sure my dad loved to see me play Barbies and dress up like princesses when I was little, but what I really remember is that he insisted I learn how and do anything my brothers could (and possibly more). He taught me to change the oil, spark plugs, and even the alternator on the car designated for teenager use. He even paid me market price for oil changes on his car. I knew what every one of the tools in his tool box did, and when a cheap metal pipe would be more useful than any of them. I watched him put in sprinkler systems and install light fixtures. He made sure that I had the confidence to do things myself and the wisdom to get help when needed. The magic words were "I need a helper; can you come here?" and I use them with my own kids to the same glorious results. I have five brothers, and no sisters.

I hope that many take cognisance of your article. A failed relationship with Dad will plague a young girl and become a source of pain for a young woman. My father told me from the day I was born, that educating a woman was a waste since we only existed a tools of procreation. However I paid for my own education and have been running a business for 10 years. I have bought my own house (the first woman in my family to do so), yet I am reluctant to settle down. I see my father in the men I date, I keep searching for something I know I will never find. This is the most pivotal relationship for any girl! I hope that many take cognisance of your article.
