The correct answer is D.

In this essay, Lisa Wilson Strick is advocating that a completely non-sexist parenting is nearly impossible in our society. She believes that parents should teach their children to accept others and themselves and appreciate the individual differences of human personality. By focusing on acceptance and tolerance, we could create a society where feminine and masculine traits are equally valued.
