No one was talking about letting children make bad choices.  Instead we were all talking about enforcing sexual stereotypes.

Again, it looks like everyone else got it except you.  Unless you feel that refusing to let girls do "boy things" is just "proper parenting".   Feel free to give your opinion on the subject now that you understand what we are talking about.

My bad I simply read posts such as the one below and did not realize we we restricting it to sexual stereotypes:

BTW you are the one doing it wrong. Raising your girls to believe that they are limited in what they can do is poor parenting. You are raising them to be submissive victims. They are being taught that they can never do the same things as boys. And that is juts sad.

I am raising my girls to belueve that they can do whatever they want. If they want to just do "rirly things" then that is fine. But they are going to be strong and confident that they can do whatever they want while your girls will be timid, weak, and afraid to try anything that you tell them is "improper".

But I guess that is pretty common way of doing things among men like you who are intimidated by women with confidence.

As to the restricted topic: Yes, I did instill some gender stereotypes in my children; I must admit it is limited as I had only boys.

For instance,  along while back my son had his girlfriend over once. When it was time to go home, he walked her to the door and said bye. That was the last time he didn't escort her to the car or walk her home if she were on foot. If he was returning from her house, the escort was not required. Not sure if that meant the parents were raising the girl to be weak or not.
