Simply put, the kind of support that young women’s fathers and grandfathers probably offered to their mothers and grandmothers is not the only kind of support a woman can or should expect from her partner. Her role should be determined not by old-fashioned rules, but by her individual strengths and ambitions.
简言之，年轻女性的父亲和祖父可以为她们的母亲和祖母提供的那种支持并不是女性可以而且应当从伴侣那里得到的唯一支助。决定她作用的不应是某种老式的规则，而是她自身的优势和志向。她的伴侣应当有信心和能力鼓励她发挥潜力。
