I was pretty disturbed when we watched a video in class and the woman (Gloria Steinman) from the video truly believes that "we badly need to raise our boys more like our girls." How wrong is that? Why would we all want to be the same gender? No offense to any girls, because I am one myself, but do we really want more emotional people running around on this planet? Girls are great but so are boys. Why would God make man and woman if He wanted us to make them all into one gender when they got to earth?
If you couldn't tell, the whole thing bugs me a little.
Besides I believe that when we are born into this world, that we have the boy girl tendencies in us. I have a niece who has an older brother and and he loves bikes, trucks, balls, all sports, anything that the typical boy likes. My niece came along and she liked that stuff too but she saw a doll at someones house and immediately picked it up and held it to her. Where would she have learned that? She didn't own any dolls. It is her nature to be motherly even at such a small age of 1.
I may be wrong to some people when I say that when I have my own kids, I am going to teach my boys to be boys! That sports is the way to go and that they are tough. Don't worry I won't be a freak about all of that, and they will get options, but I'm just saying, that's the direction I will probably take.
Men and Women compliment one another in their separate roles and can make a powerful team together.
