As a girl dad, I struggled to reconcile this past with his accomplishments as an athlete, but when set against his evolution as a family man, it was easier if still not entirely possible.

I strived to empower my daughter to be a responsible do-it-yourselfer, an independent agent in a world of dangerous men. She was street-proofed in ways her brother wasn’t.

Admittedly, part of it was the old chauvinism my generation was raised on.
