There's no secret to raise a happy confident girl,
Help your daughter to be well rounded self , inspite of all.
Praise her imperfections,
From tan skin to hair thin.
Give her education,
More importantly than celebration,
Don't give up early on her nuptials,
rather care her to be presidential.
Raise all of 'em spined,
So that they can speak their mind.

I fear the pull of the dark halos around me and the stonewalls awaiting to engulf me !

Although business etiquettes are gender neutral, it still leaves marks of sexism, & the onus of decency , customarily, falls onto the women. Amidst the glimpses of progress, the stigma continues to exist where 'she' is the subject of damaging gossips that lead to social ostracism.
