[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the mom of 2 teens of each gender, I am often able to find MORE opportunities for my girl than boy from Girls on the Run, coding for girls, cooking for girls and just a whole lot of new programs specifically aimed for girls I mean even Boy Scouts take girls now! Hah.

So yeah, on some level, I do get the feeling that as women have gained in education, rights and financially, men may feel like they see less of men and get confused why so many women are around.

I been in terms of nature, women are much stronger mentally and emotionally than men all things being equal - I feel like society norms are changing.  Many more stay at home dads and women as breadwinners of the family now.  I'm not surprised to see news of more men espp op less educated or integrated, feel troubled by their place in society. You see female characters' strength and opportunity to be and do anything in movies and it reflects reality. [/quote]

I also have a daughter and a son.  I agree with you: there are far more opportunities for my daughter than for my son.

You mentioned these, but:

- I loved participating in GOTR with my daughter, but my son was excluded from that program on the basis of their male gender

- my son is in Scouting USA (the new name for BSA or Boy Scouts).  It is now open and welcoming to girls and other genders.  My daughter is a Girl Scout, but boys are excluded on the basis of their male gender.[/quote]
