The thing is, though, once you see where little Stacie is going to be "programmed" into going, what she is going to be taught, in comparison with the boys, it's awfully prohibitive. The more explicit it is, the more restrictive their life can get.
Disagree. It's about gender roles, not life training. I doubt that it's encouraging women to abandon algebra and calculus, assuming that all the math a woman needs to know is the difference between a teaspoon and a tablespoon, or fractions so that they don't put 1/4 cup of flour in a recipe as opposed to 1/2.
Gender role classes isn't cutting women off at the knees. They still have the same ceiling they would've had before.
