I’m glad you didn’t have to deal with this problem. I saw these patterns at home, at school, at work, in the street, in the mass media. And I was lucky since my generation lived these influence in a lessen level that my previous generation.
I’m not referring to something so obvious as women in the kitchen, man bring the bread home.
I’m talking about a more subtle learning of what to expect from a guy and what to expect from a girl. And how, it’s still so different.
It seems as if we couldn’t get rid of the monkey. |
Oh I am very much on the planet Earth, I think my view is in fact very realistic. I don’t think I conveyed my message well.
What I was trying to say that you cannot generalize that boys are taught this and girls are taught that and what to expect of each gender.
It all depends where you live, what’s your culture, religion, socio economic level, what country, what region within a country etc etc There are many factors involved.
I know ton of families where wife and mother is abusive, not men at all. And we see men sharing it on this forum, although men are less likely to share being abused by women
And what about homosexual couples? How is this men taught this and women taught that plays out for them? If all men taught certain way, would two men just perpetually abuse each other? And what about two women?
I know you didn’t mean to generalize but scenarios of “boys taught this or girls taught that” doesn’t really hold the universal truth everywhere and in all circles and all groups of people.
