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 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

ofc i would spare them gender role, it's so horrible i feel like im going crazy whenever someone tries to impose me something based on the gender they assume i have, and im trans so it makes it even worse. gender role is just a bunch of sexist bullshit, i would never torture my kids like that   reply
