Just as all children are taught these things, boys have to be taught they are not to hit girls when they play as they might with a boy. And girls have to be taught to be demure and not run amok like their brothers.

My issue is that femininity is dying, there hardly no feminine women left anymore...or what would be naturally thought of as femininity, im saying women have been told by womens groups in recent years that the only way to be truly equal to men is to act just like them..thats not women changing naturally that's being bread into them.
But what you say about how children have been brought up to be like, I think that's dying out too, and that's also a tragic thing.
