Would you let your son be feminine?

Who mentioned anything about sex changes? He's just being feminine, which I wouldn't consider it needing a professional opinion, if he's just being himself.

Sorry because what I understood from this thread was what I would do if my son felt more like a woman and was thinking about to change his sex.

I'm sorry

Aren't you also being oppressive by ensuring that he grows up feminine?

I'm not a feminist

and I believe in biology - meaning that most men (testosterone-driven) are masculine and most women (estrogen-driven) are feminine.

I believe it is modern feminism that has attempted to reverse the sexes or have them approach one another and one of the methods of doing this is to tell men to be more sensitive to get women (result friendzone) or to tell women to think of success in masculine terms and that adopting as many male traits as possible is good (anything very feminine is old-fashioned and oppressing).

That will take time though, and as long as they are living in my house, the boys will be raised to be men and the girls to be women.

Well obviously you do. Also why does he have to be heterosexual?

God grants you? Please, did no one teach you how reproduction works?

Your idea that all man have to act the same way is sexist and oppressive.

Why don't you think women deserve equal rights?


Gender isn't biology it is culture and society. If you believe in biology I assume you'll have no problem with your daughter having hairy legs? Women naturally have body hair yet it isn't culturally deemed feminine, same with guys and emotions.

Using things like calling a boy a girl as an insult is extremely sexist against females, funny how you never hear the reverse used as an insult, "stop acting like a boy".

Is the reason feminine men are mocked and stigmatised by some bigots, unfortunately left over in our society, more often than not due to contempt for women or not gender conformity in general?

I'm interested if males on here would force their children to adhere to strict gender roles and what would they do if there son turned out to be feminine?

it's a losing battle, the feminists argument is with nature NOT men , men didn't make women the way they are, women do have equal rights and it's done nothing for society.


When men were traditionally responsible for providing the income and traditionally the woman was responsible for raising the children and provided cooking and cleaning we had a nation of families with values and respect. Nowadays society is taking a turn for a worse and feminism can take a part of the blame.

Oh ye good ole days with sexism, homophobia and racism where art thou?

You know it's quicker to just get back to the kitchen right?

No women's argument evidently isn't with nature, it is with sexism and western society has shown strict gender roles aren't necessary and women can succeed and are not restricted by nature, you mad?

I'd much prefer them not to be, but I'd get over it.

Personally I will not let my son be his 'own person' I am going to give a biological take on things our bodies were made for the opposite gender so If my son decided to wear high heels and play with dolls I shall 'unfeminise' him as it may have an affect on his school life and future. Some people may accept it but feminine guys are seen as a taboo in this society so therefore I when I am taking care of my son I shall make sure he goes through 'gender socialisation'
i study sociology so I am more than happy to reply to any rebuttal

That's a big surprise coming from you
