Just stirring the pot here.
"If you're not for us, you're against us"
Are you going to tell your 4-year-old son that one day he is going to grow up and meet a girl that he loves (just like you met mommy/you met daddy) and then have a family? Or are you going to throw "girl or boy" in there because you support equality in terms of sexual preference?
"One day you are going to meet a girl, or a boy, that you love. And you will want to be with him or her all the time, and so you will want to be together and maybe buy a house and get married. Whatever makes you happy - mommy/daddy/mommy and daddy will support you when this happens"
Or are you just going to avoid the topic altogether?
What if your kid asks you "Mama/Daddy... will I ever grow up and have a family?" How will you explain the possibilities to them?
What about the idea of chivalry? Out-dated, to some. I think it's still nice for men to open doors. Shows class and good manners.
This becomes funny if I were to teach my male child to factor the possibility that he/she is gay while teaching him good manners (because they seem to be based on the premise of a purely hetero world)
"Son, you should always open doors for girls and let them walk ahead of you. It's the polite thing to do. Or for a boy who has smaller arms and is meeker than you are (???????) especially if you think he's cute"
This chivalry thing made much more sense in my head
I think what I am trying to say is that a lot of what is considered to be "good manners" is ingrained in a purely heterosexual society
i.e. "ladies first" or lifting something heavy for a woman ... it seems to be a sort of social conduct. A little backwards? Maybe. I still find that sort of thing very nice and comforting.
Say the Titanic sunk during a time where there was 100% equality in terms of sexual preference. Would they still just call for women and children, first? Or would it be something like "Women and children and those men in a homosexual relationship who play the less dominant roll or who have less body mass - please step forward!" ????
My musings sound retarded because this I have never thought about this before until now. |
I think this is where the question really starts to make a difference. I think there is a place for letting your kids know where you stand on an issue but also encouraging them to think independently and come to their own conclusions.
