[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tell my boys that they can do anything girls can do. I tell them that they are biologically stronger than girls. I tell them that men do all the most dangerous jobs and that the jobs that keep society functioning are mostly male dominated. [/quote]

Do you tell them that society should be male dominated? Do you tell them that their strength makes them better than girls or less strong boys?[/quote]

Wow sounds like I hit a nerve![/quote]

Sure! Sounds like you’re deliberately raising boys to believe their strength makes them superior to other people. That’s toxic and makes you part of the problem. [/quote]

With great power comes great responsibility.

It's not - Pretend you aren't stronger.[/quote]

DP. Yep, I agree. I recently did a sex ed talk with my 10 yr old and he was actually really surprised to hear that testosterone naturally makes boys’ bodies stronger. I’m not sure that they’d even be allowed to teach that in schools these days. [/quote]
