If you guys had children, would you avoid gender roles/expectations?

well i’ll raise my kid like a normal human being… no gender stereotypes.. if my child wants to play in the mud and dress with said "boy" clothes then sure, who cares. gender is a social construct, my kid will not be forbidden from doing this or that just because it’s for boys. i want to raise my child as good as possible so they can grow up......   1 reply

nahhh my child will get to explore everything they want!!! they will see all worlds and i will allow them to pursue anything. im going to raise the most woke person ever (im not planning to have a child)   reply

I don't wanna have kids but in a what if scenario, it's a no. Kids are not supposed to be put in tiny boxes and be expected to do only that imo, I'd just let them do wtv they want as long is it isn't harmful for anyone   reply

I'm taking it a step even further no gender rolls & No child of mine is gonna pledge their allegiance to a fuckin flag everyday at school (unless they rlly wanna then go ahead my lil nationalists daddy still love u)   reply

I wouldn't ever raise any children, but I don't see why anyone who isn't misogynistic wouldn't allow girls to play in the mud and boys play with dolls, there is literally no sane reason to forbid a child to do an innocent thing they want to do, and to deny them the right to express their true self btw there are more options than to either raise a ......   reply

See I feel like this would be difficult if you wanted to do this, not because you but literally anyone else and influences you might get shit from other ppl and other kids can be mean and cultural values would make this pretty difficult, one thing I would do teach homemaker skills. regardless of gender it’s a valuable skill to teach children lear......   1 reply
