[quote=Anonymous]I see the boy coddling in so many ways, even among my friends who are strong feminists. They talk about their boys "flirting" with them as babies (gross), they had much higher expectations for their girls as they started school, and they are quicker to complain about their girls as tweens than their boys. E.g., they will go on an on about their girl's bad attitude but completely excuse their boy's explosive temper. When it came time for sleep away camp, several friends who sent their girls at a certain age didn't send their boys at the same time because they just "weren't ready" to be away from home. I.e., the boys are coddled and not developing the independence that the girls did. It's amazing to me that they don't recognize what they are doing.[/quote]
