Gender Roles

This week in class we talked about gender roles and the importance of them in the family. I learned that the different genders have different experiences that influence the family and the families structure. We talked a lot about the different female tendencies and male tendencies and how they are different. There was a quote read in class saying that we should raise our boys more like girls but i do not agree with that. I feel that we should teach our children the same morals but not that we should teach our boys to act like girls. I want my boys to act like boys and my girls to act like girls. Another thing that got said was that some people think that people are born gay. In class we talked about how people have actually proved that people are not born gay. It has to do with if the kids get enough intimacy. If a Dad doesn't want anything to do with his little boy, that boy will be more likely to want that attention from a man later on in life and therefore think that they want to be gay. It was interesting to see how things can be brought back to the family. I know that it will be important to be there for my children and to love them and show them the right way.
