Daughters, Career Advice and the MILF Effect

Jack:  Athol, I’m curious what you will teach your daughters. Will you teach them today’s feminist line that they “can be anything they want”? This, to me, is a dangerous message. Yes, women can pursue their career and become uber-competitive, but there are tradeoffs. Women’s hypergamy being what it is, if they become gung-ho careerists they will simultaneously shrink their dating market and turn off the best (alpha) males who are not attracted to women of higher success then them. This is all well documented.

Its not easy to raise girls if you go against the dominant Leftist/Feminist cultural programming.

Athol:  We’re generally teaching them they can be anything they want to be, but I agree that you can’t be everything you want to be. We’re also conscious about offering them a leg-up and using our moderate ability to effect nepotism to advance them as much as possible career-wise. Both of our girls are very bright and I doubt they would be content at all with a SAHM lifestyle.

One daughter is actually quite turned on by the idea of fast tracking to her RN and being able to earn a good wage by the time she is 20, and have flexibility in work schedules and being able to work part time around her family needs and so on. So we can help make that happen for her.

One daughter is quite gifted and she has a standing offer of having her fiction writing and/or drawings turned into full fledged books with our help. No requirement to be published for all the world to see, even one copy to hold in her hands being acceptable. She’ll bite eventually lol.

I’m conscious of there being a fine line between pushing them in a certain direction and over riding what they might really want to do, and not offering them all that I could and having them turn out less than they could be. They are wonderfully good kids and I’m sure they will turn into wonderful women and the older they get the more interesting they become.

There are risks for women in advancing career at the expense of starting a family, and then finding out too late their use-by date has passed, but I don’t think that will be the case with our girls. The apple does not fall far from the tree, and lets face it, Jennifer is about as good as advertising gets for “this is what you’ll be married to in twenty years” for future boyfriends to take into consideration. Stable, loyal, sexy, fun, competent, healthy, charming, joyful. So I think they will have a high market value and plenty of options actively pursuing them.

I mean you gotta figure at some point the boyfriends are just going to go, “Your mom had sex with your dad HOW MUCH?!?!” and then look directly at Jennifer’s ass until their name is forcefully called…

 …and girls are going to get a +2 to their Sex Rank.

Something that I really learned with the passing of my father is how important family is, so I’m actually kinda looking forward to having sons-in-law to be honest.

Plus my girls will read everything I’ve written, so they’ll have a fairly deep understanding of relationships and be conscious of whats going on. They will make mistakes no doubt, but unlikely to make critical failures. So I’m not really worried about them… but I do worry about them, they are after all my daughters.
