What is with us?

Myself and other people have posted an article from KSL.com about mean mothers raising mean girls. The article is here. She talks about how if you are a mean mother your daughter will learn that and become a mean girl. (there's more to it than that)

A friend of mine also posted the article but said, "Everyone is posting this and all I can think is "shouldn't we be teaching our boys this too?! Why the gender disparity?" 

Seriously?!? What is with our society that we can't read a story and let it apply to our lives even if we're not the same gender? The women shared her experience from the mother/daughter point of view because she experienced it that way. Doesn't mean a father can't read it and apply it to himself and his son or a father to daughter or aunt to nephew or whatever the adult to child relationship is. Is our society so P.C. now that we can't share our experience exactly the way it happened? Do we have to start teaching our children, "Human 1 was at the location where items of health and unhealthy nutrition can be purchased with human 2. Human 1 saw human 3 that human 1 had not been physical or electronically associated with since they were both at the educational facility for humans ages 15-18..." Where's the imagination? Where's the foretelling that helps bring lessons of the situation into your own life? There's gender disparity if you make it that way. If you think that if a women shares an experience then a man can't learn from it, you've created the gender disparity, not the writer.

Someone else had pointed out that it's because the mother is constantly under attack. That mothers are always blamed for their children misbehaving and having the stress of trying to be a Pinterest mother, etc. OR maybe it's because women are the only ones talking. Women are not under attack. Women are the ones talking about their experiences. Their hard times. Their feelings of inadequacy. Sharing their advice or experiences. It's not society attacking them. Men probably feel the same way as women, they just aren't sharing it as often as women are through social media. Or maybe they are, and it's not spreading as fast. As Eleanor Roosevelt said, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." You take from it what you want.
