I stumbled and believed in this idea of th e differences in socialisation between the sexes at various points in my life.I had the benefit of being 'politicised' by my dad and been encouraged to be independent during my teens and did a lot of hitch hiking with other girls.Chose my own path and went to uni in the sixties.
I married another student who used domestic abuse and control to get me to be the woman he had been socialised into thinking I should be.
Fortunately I was strong enough to retain my identity, strength and beliefs and used them to escape.
Essentially we need to teach all girls to be strong feminists and we need to teach boys too of the benefits and the absolute need to recognise sexism is limiting for them too.

Wow. This also goes a long way in explaining the ROGD crisis happening to young girls
Thanks This is a real eye opener for me. Makes so much sense
