I have a seven and three year old and I don’t think this quite positive.

Absolutely. It’s something I think a lot of parents are familiar with, when their young children are saying “x is only for girls/boys”

None of this would be necessary if we hadn’t imported a ton of people from misogynistic cultures

We might need them to shoot people in a future war though. Swings and roundabouts.

That sounds strange! I wonder what they are actually taught?
*”They are taught that no emotional reaction is bad and to speak up about anything that makes them uncomfortable including hugs”*
Oh, that’s not strange. Thats just common sense.
As a parent of young children, it is amazing how many children **arent** taught this. Boys as young as 6 or 7 are told to “man up” and the way to protect themselves is to hit the other child first. My own children have been told by staff members that “boys will be boys” when they’ve been hit by a boy (yes, we made a complaint). There’s still a pervasive attitude that allows boys to get away with behaviour that girls would be punished for.
