My mates Aunty then gave us an anecdote about about a friend of hers who's mother had expressed a concern to her that she may be "over doing it" on the female empowerment after her son told her that when he grows up, he wants to be a girl because girls can do anything. The mother admitted to my friends Aunt she had perhaps gone a bit overboard on empowering her daughter and neglected her son.

Saying a girl can do anything, doesn't negate that a boy can also do anything.
Positive reinforcement is key for any one.
Just keep things positive.

Completely agree that positive reinforcement is a good thing however, in this case it has obviously had a negative effect on the young gentleman in question. It absolutely does not negate the fact a boy can do anything but if they never hear it how are they to know?

I know this is only one of many examples of the Feminist conquest of the west however, it disturbed me to see critical thinking, intelligent and caring women having a laugh about this poor little boys statement.

You're playing with words.
What's equal enforcement? When was it mentioned?
Define earned reinforcement for me.

Do you disagree that the feminist agenda is destructive, divisive and hateful?
