Bryan Caplan wrote an essay for his daughter advising her against becoming a feminist, arguing that it's not empirically true that society treats men more fairly than women.
I wrote a book for my 10-year-old daughter called Don't Be a Feminist.
Is it really true that our society generally treats men more fairly than women?
I said like you don't want to have a philosophy that encourages antipathy and self-pity, human nature already naturally does way too much of both of these.
When I tell my daughter is like it is just not true that men in general are out to get you or won't like you.
One of my big piece of advice to my daughter is never be afraid to play the 'I'm not one of those feminist' cards with men.
