Your friends sound like fantastic women - I find the one quality people I admire share is their passion for what they believe in. It's infectious! I do wish for the best for Doctor Meg.

By saying honest to gender, I simply mean that a woman should be able to proudly embrace her feminity in all its glory. I've come across women who have been almost ashamed of being female and who keep saying how men have it better.

They seem to (sometimes unconciously) encourage others to look down on women and try to do away with what they consider 'weaker' tendencies.

I firmly believe that the only way to gain the respect of others as a woman, is to first respect your gender yourself. That means being honest to yourself about what your strengths and weaknesses are and then working on them
