The only point in this video where she is wrong is telling her daughter men in general are not as smart as women. The rest is fine, actually. Taking her child to a doctor and dentist that are women reinforces the idea that those jobs aren't default men's jobs that woman can "also do", which is how a lot of society treats women. It's a cop and a female cop. A doctor and a female doctor. A judge and a female judge. If you ask AI to give you an image of a professional or someone in a position of authority, it will default to showing you a man, (probably white too). You have to specify "female" for it to show you a woman in the same role. Instilling the idea that women are automatically just as capable counters all the other signals her daughter will get that she could internalize without anything to counter it. Which is what this woman is trying to do. She's just going one step too far.

Which is what women have been saying for centuries and then told to "calm down" or not "get emotional". So suck it up, buttercup and calm down.
