"I was raised to be admired"

...or something like that was the line that stuck out to me in tonight's episode of Mad Men. Joan said that in response to about how she received flowers and whatnot. It got me thinking...what if more little girls were raised with this mindset? Would that help instill a good self esteem amongst women in a time where self esteem is under attack 24/7? Constant images of how women should look, how we should act, what we should wear..etc. are all around us. More little girls need to be raised with a tough self concept in order to survive. Just rambling....
