[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel the same way (two daughters and a son). I have always weirdly felt like my son is more vulnerable, more in danger in the world.[b] Almost like society expects him to shoulder every burden alone, vs my daughters will always have someone to take care of them. [/b]I know that seems regressive which is why it's so weird for me- I'm a feminist, I work, my husband is an equal partner. [/quote] I see this too, not that the girl will be taken care on in the sense of having a husband, but that girls/women generally have more robust social networks. Men seem to have a harder time with friendship than women. [/quote] You know those social networks happen because women invest time in them right? Nothing keeps you from teaching your son to be a good friend, valuing people, having empathy. Don’t blame “society” for failure to parent.[/quote]
