Call me a feminist but I hate to think your are purposely instilling old world gender stereotypes. You are doing them a disservice.

I wouldn’t say I’m instilling old world gender stereotypes in any way & I know where you’re coming from.
I feel I’m raising my DD’s totally differently then how I was raised so I can’t fall back on “my mom told me” philosophy. But I feel when they are older they will still encounter the old world stereotype male & yes I do see their sex differently as does society.
But I do treat all of them the same....pretty much, try to teach them all the same values.
I can understand how a female views a male. I understand that perspective, but not the reverse. I won’t ever understand that & I do see a difference there.
