00:00Could they have a female role model in the media?
00:03Yeah, but that's very hard.
00:05I mean, unless Oprah's coming into the house and they're gonna...
00:07No.
00:08She would be the only role model I could think of.
00:11I'm a single dad raising teenage daughters
00:13and worry they're missing female perspectives
00:15I can't fully provide.
00:17What's the best way to support them
00:18with strong female role models?
00:20Because they're grandmas.
00:21Yeah.
00:22Perhaps they don't have grandmothers
00:23or that they don't live close to, near them.
00:26But maybe there's a cousin or an aunt that's in the neighborhood
00:30or family friend who might pull up that slack
00:34because girls do tend to need a little help with their hair
00:37maybe how to put their makeup on.
00:39What do you think of this?
00:40Could they have a female role model in the media
00:44or something along those lines
00:46where they can follow them on social or read their books
00:51or whatever it is to kind of have that idea of like
00:54okay, this person has goals in my mind.
00:56I want to work toward that.
00:57Yeah, but that's very hard
00:58because there are not that many people that you would suggest.
01:01I mean, unless Oprah's coming into the house and they're gonna...
01:04She would be the only role model I could think of
01:06of everybody on TV.
01:08But the truth is I think a hands-on person
01:11even if it's not the most perfect person is still good.
01:14Yeah.
01:14I also think female role models
01:16it doesn't necessarily have to be an elder.
01:18Like sometimes you can find that in a friend, right?
01:21Yes, you can.
01:21Or you can find it in a teacher
01:22or you can find it in your religious community
01:25or whatever it is.
01:26So I think putting them in a place where they're around
01:30those kind of people
01:31like you have to have interactions that are helpful
01:34and maybe even less forced upon you.
01:37Give them a different perspective, a female perspective.
01:39Modern problems.
01:41Classic solutions.
01:42Got a situation.
01:43We've got opinions.
01:44Send it in.
