Hi--I'd classify myself as a feminist mother of sons and can go either way
on the TYDTW issue. I see advantages in taking boys as well as girls when
the
boss is female or some such. It does boys good to see women in power.
I am on the gender equity comittee at my son's school. Sometimes people ask
me why since I have no daughters. I give many reasons, but a central one is
my
belief that in the long run, anything we do for girls really helps boys and
the
rest of humanity!
By the way, as a feminist mother of a son, I have lots of questions about
the
best way to do a new kind of child raising. Anyone know of a discussion
list
on this issue (i.e., feminists raising sons?). Anyone want to start a
discuss-
ion with me?
Thanks,
