I have a son and a daughter; I try to teach them equally about balance, gender, and gender equity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One can make a case that says that since 85% of children being brought up in single family homes are being brought up by women that about 85% of elementary school teachers should be males to balance out the feminization that the boys and girls receive.
Many societies have educated their male children on the simple device of teaching them not to be women.
There's no one right way to parent, and there's no magic combination of genders that produces the most well-adjusted child. We all do the best we can at loving our kids and building our families.
I have four daughters. A lot of the time, I don't allow myself to be in projects that objectify women.
In my community, women are as important as males, and they are playing an equal role in the society.
I feel that gender balance in the work environment is actually the best recipe for success.
Raising three girls, I think it's important to teach them to support other women.
Four of my children are daughters, and I've watched them devote themselves to reading books about how little girls learn to become women - how they learn to deal with boys and men, and the different hurdles females have to go over.
I have two children who are daughters, so female issues have always registered high on my scale of awareness.
I watched my parents act as completely equal partners in their relationship, and as a son to a woman I respect immensely, I never thought of gender inequality as a child.
