is to start raising boys and girls to be who they truly are. Some individuals will naturally be more "yin" than others--so don't stifle the yin qualities in boys, don't stifle the yang qualities in girls. Don't teach boys they must be aggressive to prove themselves, don't teach girls they must be submissive to be a good girl. Don't polarize the sexes. Parents can do a lot to overcome societal stereotypes. I'm so glad to see parents of boys giving their sons a new ideal of what it means to be male (beyond the obvious--e.g. that you must be capable of feeding yourself and washing your own clothes). Your sons will thank you someday. They will be liberated from a certain kind of bondage too. And their wives and female associates will reap benefits too numerous to list.
This could change the world.
