[quote=Anonymous]I think that one of the key points that makes #boymom a thing and not #girlmom is the fact that mothers of boys are raising opposite gender children. Mothers of only boys do not have any experience raising a girl, but they do know what it's like to be a girl. I suspect the #boymom thing grew partly out of this notion that there is something a bit mysterious to a woman about raising a boy. The most obvious example is the exasperation about boys who can't seem to pee directly and neatly into the toilet. Why?!? Of course, this is all pure speculation. I am a mother of only boys, but I've never been tempted to use the term #boymom. But I think I understand how the term may have originated. I also acknowledge that it sometimes reinforces gender stereotypes in an unfortunate way.[/quote]
