[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think if one person wants a particular item, it should be given to them if possible. I don't think it's fair or a good idea to divide things based on gender. It really shouldn't matter. My sister wants a ring of my dad's for sentimental reasons. She's never going to wear it. My dad has a dream of passing it on to the oldest grandson, which is my son. [b]My son has no interest, and has already decided that if he does receive it someday, he wants to give it to my sister if she still wants it[/b], because he knows he's only getting it because of gender.

That's very thoughtful of him.[/quote]

You did a GREAT job with your son!  [/quote]

Thanks. He’s good people. He knows what it’s like to be treated unfairly (he’s gay), and thinks it’s crappy that my sister loses out on something she wants because of gender. He compares it to women not being able to inherit property in ye olde times. He’s 20 now, but recognized the sexism and called it out as a young child. With the pushback from DS about sexism and him being gay, we’re not sure what will happen to the ring, because there’s not another grandson. It’s become a running joke in our family whether it’s worse for the misogynistic homophobic old man to will his bling to the gay grandson or the daughter. [/quote]
