In early 2016, my then-7-year-old daughter approached me and asked, “Daddy, what sports are girls allowed to play?”
This question shook me to my very core. It was a question that never crossed my mind as a young boy and never could have. But not only had it crossed my daughter’s mind, she appeared to have already accepted that there would be restrictions placed on her participation in society only because of her sex.
Over the next few months, my wife and I watched in horror as a profoundly ignorant man who boasted of being able to sexually assault women with impunity was sewing up the GOP’s nomination for the presidency.
