. . . pretty stupid and selfish, and go with the flow.

And the flow has its pros and cons.

But as lovers of girls we see the fundamental injustices done to them, and extending from that the way all children in some cultures (but especially the girls, more often than not) are subject to some very dehumanizing treatment that causes lifelong psychological problems.

Empower your girls. Just like I told S when she was seven years old: "You are no one's property. You belong to you. And your father was very wrong to tell you that he owns you."

Is it any wonder she grew to respect me more?

We don't actually respect those who wield power over us in unjust ways. It is no accident that today we are witnessing a profound drop in respect between generations - sure as hell children are not to blame. Whenever I hear someone say "kids have no respect for their elders these days" I laugh my ass off because they're too dumb and self-important to see that respect was always supposed to be a two-way street.

Fight for children's rights.

Corporal punishment is disgusting to humanity, whether it is done in the name of anger or discipline.

Physically assaulting a child should be a criminal offense with mandatory reporting - no exceptions for parents. It doesn't break your mind and your heart any less when Mommy is the one doing it.

Verbal or emotional abuse or abuse by neglect should be treated with an equally harsh penalty.

If you are an angry, bitter person who has no patience for youthful energies, DO NOT RAISE CHILDREN. PLEASE.

Children should have as much freedom as they can realistically and safely handle. This should be common wisdom. You can't properly raise a person by confining them and restricting their rights to be handed back as privileges at fixed increments until they eventually grow strong enough to escape from your prison at which point they are just as alone, just as scared, just as defenseless, and every bit as uninitiated as they were in your "care". Treating your kids that way, especially in conjunction with practically any amount of physical and / or non-physical abuse, including excessive measures of "control", is a great way to raise angry, sad, unenlightened, miserable human beings destined to make all the same mistakes you did when they decide to raise their own.

And just for emphasis: there is literally no situation short of maybe bringing up a psychopath (?) in which a parent should ever feel the need to utilize their physical power over their young ones to the extent that it causes them any amount of pain or distress.

The fact that it's legal to physically assault your own children in most countries is one of the most telling and abhorrent signs of the world we currently live in.

Even though I don't attribute to maliciousness any shortcoming which can be attributed to stupidity, I don't easily forgive anyone who mistreats a little person. If ever. I trust that generally-speaking most child-lovers feel the same way about this.

Just some cons to the current "flow".

The pros are mostly illusory and go conveniently to the ones sitting on top of the power structures I described above.
