"The message that we consistently send out is that in order to achieve
any kind of significant career goals, girls need to adopt traits that
are typically associated with masculinity."

Hear hear.  Via Muse, who wrote:

YES! I've been saying this since 1981 and getting sneered at. My mantra was
anyone should be able to wear chiffon and rickrack and still be treated as
competent. I remember being in an elevator at the University of Washington
saying this to feminist Joanna Russ.

Share and enjoy,
