I'm interested in reading what others have to say. For now, I can only bring my observations to the table; and, yes, it often seems that people's ideas about gender are rooted in their experiences with families. For myself, I can say that those ideas also change as exposure to other families and ideas happen.

I'm a conflicted knot when it comes to the topic of parent's rights and responsibilities, and that topic deserves more thought and care than I can give on a work morning before I head off for the day, but I'll check in later with more.
