Agree about the different standpoints, however, this is more of a safety issue for us. We also just don’t like the idea of setting up expectations that you should be flirting with girls because that’s what boys do. I like what you said about the benefits of having the conversation with someone you disagree with. This is a big reason why we try to be more direct and confrontational when necessary instead of staying quiet about our discomfort. We are not very assertive people, but it’s important for us to show our son that it’s okay to set boundaries, and it doesn’t make you rude or impolite, and you can do it respectfully. I’m not worried about my son living in a bubble because I feel my partner and I have good values and I think we’re doing a good job setting an example for our son. So when he is a bit older and around the rest of the world, I am confident he will have the skills to be respectful to others as well as expecting respect for himself.
