Adults are really killers of kids innate and healthy curiosity. You could be a girl interested in boxing or a boy interested in ballet and one boring unimaginative shallow birdbrained adult will say “no that’s for boys and that’s for girls.”
So many people in the replies talking about how they used to fantasize about dying by the hands of their parents when they were children, just so their parents would feel just a little bit of guilt
Yet people still think beating children is just discipline and not abuse.
I’m so anti physical discipline bc majority of “bad” things that children real life consequence isn’t be hit. Like are you hitting that child because it’s necessary or are you hitting them bc you’re bigger and stronger than them?
dare i say that i think there would be significantly less sexual violence, domestic abuse, and misogyny as a whole if it wasn't societally expected for "boys" to be so violent and assertive
