They’re full of so much power. While other people are busy telling girls to quit, they’re busy telling each other one simple thing in response: “Don’t you dare.” If girls enjoy princesses and tea parties, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. What’s wrong is forcing all girls to stand behind walls built with stereotypes and expectations. To learn more about the Always #LikeAGirl campaign, be sure to check this out.
