More than ever we need to re-educate women and men about "WOMEN". We must teach boys and men that "Women are not their competition". That a woman's rise and advancement is not a threat to men because "when a woman wins everyone wins". We must teach women not to "use men as the standard measure of achievement". Women must "dream and become the best they can be; that's real achievement".
