But isn’t this the point? Given the long history, maybe we should teach people how to treat men. It doesn’t mean teaching them to treat men as rulers, and it shouldn’t mean treating them as enemies either. Maybe both boys and girls need to be taught how to treat everyone as equals, and not to expect certain things from people based on gender.
Sure. The original comment implied that no women are ever thought anything about how to treat men which is not the case even today. Even today, in religious communities, women are brought up with the idea that their role is be the wife of a man, bear his children and look after his household. I don’t know what exactly the original OP meant but, at the very least, he seems unaware of this.
Admittedly I don’t know much about religious communities, and I live in one of the most gender equal places I guess, so that was my intuitive context. But, I still think we should teach kids to avoid gender expectations, in any direction. There are ways that men are shitty to women, ways men are shitty to other men, ways women are shitty to other women, and ways women are shitty to men.
I don’t see how that follows, like the joke is the dad buying his daughter a taser because the other guy is being a creep, but that’s your prerogative.
Oops. Didn’t properly see the bottom comment. I just saw the top one and reacted to it. I didn’t realize it was the bottom comment we were supposed to agree with. (I read it but just woke up and didn’t process it.) Changing my downvote to an upvote.
Women have for millennia been taught that their role is to be subservient to men so this will get a downvote from me.
