Hey there, fellow parents! Let’s chat about raising boys who understand and embrace equality. I’m all about teaching my kids the values that really matter, so here’s a list I put together for fostering a generation of feminist boys. Just like we talk about the importance of equal rights in our home, it’s crucial that our boys grow up appreciating these values, too. Here’s how we can do it:

1. Feminism is all about equality, not femininity.
2. Boys can be feminists, regardless of their interests. Just like I love my sports, that doesn’t make me less of a feminist.
3. Emotions are important. It’s perfectly fine to cry, but remember to express those feelings respectfully.
4. Build friendships with girls; they’re just as important as your guy pals.
5. Interests aren’t gendered. Girls can love trucks, just as boys can enjoy tea parties.
6. Ignore phrases like “like a man” or “like a girl.” They don’t mean anything.
7. Strength and sensitivity can coexist beautifully.
8. Your anatomy doesn’t grant you special privileges. It just makes you human.
9. Hold doors open for everyone, not out of obligation, but as a simple act of kindness.
10. True beauty shines from within, not just from appearances.
11. Acts of kindness matter— buy flowers or pay for dinner because it’s nice, not to manipulate feelings.
12. Engage in relationships when you’re genuinely ready, not because of peer pressure.
13. Consent is key— “no” means no, and only a clear “yes” counts.
14. Choose friends who uplift you, and be cautious of those who want to change you.
15. Fair pay for fair work is a must— no exceptions.
16. Your identity isn’t solely defined by your gender or job. Focus on kindness and hard work.
17. If you marry, your spouse’s name choice doesn’t reflect their love for you.
18. Providing for a family goes beyond finances; it’s about emotional support too.
19. Make childcare decisions based on what’s best for your family, not societal expectations.
20. Household chores? Totally doable for men. Step up and help out!
21. Apologizing isn’t weakness; it’s a brave act that shows strength.
22. Recognize your privileges and stand up for those who don’t have the same opportunities.
23. Cultivate empathy and compassion in your everyday life.
24. Celebrate differences among people rather than generalizing based on gender.
25. Remember these lessons because they contribute to fairness and respect, which can truly change the world, one step at a time.
