[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Female here I can’t speak to other things but I can definitely say my young son is not seeing boys on tv being role models. Everything is geared toward girls now. Characters being changed to female all the time. It’s ridiculous to swing so far to the other side so all I can show my son is old tv shows or movies with a boy lead. [/quote]

I am agnostic bordering on atheist.  I never exposed my kids to God or prayer.  When my first born was about 5 we got into a debate about, assuming there *was* a God in the first place - was God male or female?  (yes, she was like that, a debater at 5) I said I believe God is female. She said no, male.  I said, I will show you.  I walked her up to the local Catholic church and stopped in front of a statue of Mary in their garden.  I said, "see? there she is!"  She shook her head, "no, the real God must be *inside* the Church".

Somehow my agnostic kid had picked up on the fact that God was a (white) male.  My point, don't worry PP, somehow your son will pick up on the fact that (white) males are the center of the universe and our society.  Your pearl clutching and hand wringing about boys not having role models is misplaced.[/quote]
Right but the problem is that rather than see the poor societal outcomes of a single gender being favored and idealized for superficial stereotypes you instead seem to view it as a competition where your “side” deserves to win. You could teach your kid that statues are not real and humans tend to have ridiculous religious beliefs rather than try to survey religious depictions in a search for truth.
