This is 2017 after all.

I do understand what you’re saying here. My children are given the same chores & expectations regardless of their sex. Taking the trash out has to be done although some chores are based on age. When the younger ones are older they will get those chores too.
I never stated that I was asking my son to behave in a certain fashion based on his sex.
What I’m trying to plainly state is that I do not comprehend the male mind because I am female. I can guess & read as much as I want, but biologically I don’t think I will ever understand it.
