[quote=Anonymous]I have daughters, so I point out a lot of misogyny and patriarchy to them. I was raised the opposite - boys tease you because they like you, if a boy likes you give him a chance even if you don’t like him, forgive him because the poor guy is trying his best, etc. So instead we look at the different standards males and females are held to, starting with the different standards in their classrooms. Example, they aren’t allowed to go to recess until the room is cleaned, and often the girls will do all the cleaning because the boys are goofing off. So we talk a LOT about those things. I’m divorced, and I have an extremely high standard for the men I date. They need to set the example for my DDs. Even if my DDs don’t meet them, it’s good for them to come home and see mom got flowers from the guy, so they know what kind of effort they should expect. [/quote]
