[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not going to get into the whole nature or nurture argument above but there are definitely significant differences that begin very early and of course continue with time.

I imagine the people that cling to the idea that boys and girls are the same are the same people that advocate for men and women to compete in sports together.

I think the #boymom #girlmom thing is silly but it’s also silly to insist that raising boys and girls is the same. [/quote]

I think it makes the most sense to raise children. As in, my mom and dad tried to raise my brother, who is gay, to be a “boy.” They ignored his individuality, his personality, his preferences, his interests, and it was kind of a football-and-fishing mentality, if you will. Soy just raising Boys and Girls doesn’t really cut it. When you pay attention to the child and raise that child, by understanding that things like extrovert/introvert, interests and hobbies, abilities and preferences are all going to come into play, I think that’s where you are going to get the best outcomes, for the individual child and for society.[/quote]
