Admittedly I don’t know much about religious communities, and I live in one of the most gender equal places I guess, so that was my intuitive context. But, I still think we should teach kids to avoid gender expectations, in any direction. There are ways that men are shitty to women, ways men are shitty to other men, ways women are shitty to other women, and ways women are shitty to men.

But isn’t this the point? Given the long history, maybe we should teach people how to treat men. It doesn’t mean teaching them to treat men as rulers, and it shouldn’t mean treating them as enemies either. Maybe both boys and girls need to be taught how to treat everyone as equals, and not to expect certain things from people based on gender.
