Oftentimes, we've been told that in order to be strong and successful women, we have to eschew the feminine. And that's perfectly fine if that's what you're into; there are plenty of ways to be a woman, and they do not all involve nail polish.

 

However, it is a travesty that in order to be taken seriously in the first place we are usually expected to set aside all things 'girly'.

 

A recent tweet from Chrissy Teigen perfectly illustrates, though, that we should be able to embrace both.

 

The mum-of-two, who recently welcomed son Miles, shared a video on Twitter of her daughter Luna trying on a space suit over a lavender tutu.

 

 

"I thought I was going to have this incredible female empowerment moment where Luna ripped her tutu off and replaced it with her space suit but sometimes a girl wants to be both," the 32-year-old wrote.

 

She added, "...and that, my friends, is female empowerment."

 

Chrissy makes a fair point! People loved her message, and even former astronaut Buzz Aldrin tweeted, "Like" in response. We're not sure he quite understands how Twitter works.

 

Other social media users also shared their appreciation for the mum's statement on female empowerment.

 

 

 

Some shared photos of their own empowered daughters.

Our daughters can do anything!
