Now... I'm not telling you how to raise your kid. Based on my ethical system. Parents have 1 requirement.
Provide you with home, food, education, and care until you're old enough to leave.
Here's how I feel about gender roles... If I had a son I'd teach him to behave more masculine, I'd introduce him to masculine activities that I would do for a daughter. I'd push my boy to grow up tougher than my daughter and teach my daughter to be girlish...
My son finds himself a girlfriend, I'll buy him a bottle of wine and a condom and tell him to go get it...
My daughter finds herself a boyfriend... hold on a minute. Who is this mutha****a? What's his GPA? What's his families income? Is he a real man? Because I'll pull out my set of kendo swords, and he can try again, and again as much as he wants. But he will not be permitted to court my daughter until he can defeat me in a proper duel.
The reason why I'd choose to raise a male one way and a female the other way is simple... it's just my social aesthetic. I don't need some deep philosophical justification...
Isn't it just human nature to want your kids to be something like you? I mean, unless you abuse your kids for not being like you, I don't see a problem with simply trying to spread your ideals and influence to another generation.
I guess since I beli- I mean I know gender isn't a social construct, there's no issue with differentiating it. I mean, animals do it.. Look at most social animals, they have some form of social structure that involves males and females behaving in different ways.
The fact that transgendered people even exist is irrefutable proof that gender isn't something made up by society and religion. It's a psycho-biological phenomenon. Differences in male and female can be found in the brain, observed in the animal kingdom and are prevalent in human society.
I find it absurd to assert that gender differentation in human behavior is a "social construct"

If it's okay to do this ****, it's okay for me to do the opposite.. Now, I'm not hating on these parents, despite how much I grossly disagree with thier choice... but still. That's them. I can't objectively call it "bad".
We're the only species on the planet that has a problem with raising boys as boys and girls as girls... You won't find that attitude anywhere else. Not that I'm bad... if you're anti-gender role and you wanna introduce your son to girly clothes so you can take pictures of him, and post the photos on "Lizzy the Lezzy"'s Facebook page to show the other liberal parents how progressive you are... the personally **** you... but... I can't actually call you wrong based on my own moral beliefs.
