[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m mostly straight (which I’ve never discussed with my kids), but they often note that I think more like a dad than a mom and tend to be more interested in typically male hobbies. I attribute this to growing up in an overwhelmingly male family. I have had more long term friendships with males than women, but never questioned whether my biological sex matched my internal gender. So I can’t judge someone else for not conforming to the majority culture’s perception of what it means to be female. These girls are finding how to be comfortable in a society that is very hostile to females no matter what your third wave Pinterest feminism tells you. [b]If 2/3 of them spend their teens through twenties avoiding relationships with makes, I would not be surprised. Those are dangerous years[/b].[/quote] ???? This is not what OP is talking about. Liking “typically male” hobbies is what we want to re-examine. Girls can do anything and do can boys and it has no bearing on gender. What OP is referring to is sexuality and the overemphasis of defining oneself at that age. There’s also an element of male bashing which is evident from your bolded commented above. Many young girls had/have wonderful relationships with boys at that age. Sorry that you think all men treat women with hostility.[/quote]
