[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I get it. My DS asked me the same thing. I don't think the boys feel *hurt* by it, so all the people insulting OP and her kids can take a hike. But to the kids who were raised that boys and girls are equal, it seems strange to then see lots of "Girl Power" and "Girls Rock" merchandise. I think the PPs who say to address it historically and intellectually have the right idea. Yes, on one hand you don't want to indtroduce this idea to the boys[/quote] op - THIS they are not being raised this way at all so it's so confusing to them and I feel almost seeds the idea in boys (and girls) that they didn't have to begin with. That being said, it's also bs to pretend the gender pay gap, the lack of women leadership in business and politics, is not a thing - and important to squash these issues once and for all. other posters have had really good advice here.
