(110,159 posts)always, always, honor it. never make them feel less in pointing out the inherent sexism and act of dehumanizing and lessening another gender. be sexual and love your sexuality. it is all good. but, do it without degrading or demeaning another. understand the conditioning's to males. the male pack mentality that gets in the way of being your own in health and balance. the harm that comes to them with the incessant
imagery of what a woman is and suppose to be thru media and social norms. the inundation of the porn world and inherent submissiveness and addictive quality in the porn to women and the harm in their sexuality. the females adopted world of third person sexuality at her expense for man. a girls own conditioning and what to be weary of.
all of this without appearing to be doing all of this, lol. knowing a responsibility to give the kids tools so they can make good choices and develop and yet not take them away from who they are.
understanding the simple male privilege that allows them to overlook all this without establishing a sense of guilt.
fortunately, a lot of it is wrapped up in a safe, secure, honest, loving environment. examples set by two adults in both gender roles we live, how we behave, what we allow in our environment and why. personal responsibility.
it is a different world today than when we grew up. and i see it effecting the kids. i see it effect the kids in their young 20's differently than what i am seeing in the teens today. they have learned a lot from the group right above them that stepped into this stuff first.
if you are into human behavior, this is one broiling vat of experiment with our children.
