[quote=Anonymous]My son is older so you can’t do this quite test but when he was a bit older we’d often watch old movies that had much, much more blatant sexism than anything he’s seen in real life (not watching for that reason but he and we are movie buffs.) it’s a good conversation starter. anyway, when he understood that those are the movies (to a great extending reflecting societal norms) that his mom/aunts/teachers grew up watching/experiencing it really clicked for him-like, this is not some remote historical curiosity but what life was like for people he knows and loves when they were young adults-it really changed how he saw things.

Btw, I am a feminist with a boy and a girl and I also dislike those shirts.

I also told my kids abt a one of the many sexual harassment scenarios I experienced as a teen (one that I considered mild compared to others I later experienced) and they were absolutely astounded-as in, jaws literally dropped and they were like did you call the police- lol! [/quote]
