@cultivatingboldspaces: It can be hard to talk about individual elements of social conditioning because no one factor is totally independent of other factors. Boys and girls can be treated the same in one context, but then the wider context makes the impact different. #boys #girls #sexism #misogyny #patriarchy #internalisedmisogyny #parenting #raisingboys #raisinggirls #feminism #feministparenting #genderroles #women #men
My mom is also convinced that all guys in my friend group have to be in love with me. Like?? No??

I thinks it's because we think of relationships differently.
i would totally date my best friend (we are both men) if he was a woman...

I find it really hard to not fall for my woman friends - and most of my friends have always been women! What gives?

Most relationships began as friendships, mine certainly have. That's natural and its not a bad thing.

I grew up in the middle east, in 1st grade(maybe 2nd) the teacher caught me talking with my friends a lot, so she moved me to the left row of desks,+

Why other reasons for the great gender divide do you think I should speak about?

the power imbalance is important here though, all of my female friends have at some point been hurt by close male friends and don't feel safe to be/

it's gotten to the point where politeness is mistaken for flirtation often

my 4yo daughter currently exclusively plays with the boys. thank goodness I and the parents of the boys don't say anything about "relationship". we just encourage them to get along and have playdates

I think the reason is unrelated. I was never teased about it and had many female friendships over the years. All of them failed by now.

I also think people mix up friendship feelings with romantic feelings! Like you like someone then immediately jump to feelings instead of platonic

I was teased about having a male friend as a kid and then from 11 to 16 I was in a girl's school so didn't interact with a boy my age for YEARS. I did really struggle to talk to boys for a while

I had kindergarten boyfriend and we also went to elementary together. He would get soo mad if I brought it up, even as a joke. It was kindergarten?

My mother never did that teasing. My siblings and I have no trouble making friends with any gender. Sadly our friends often need to work past it first
