Aw damn. Just damn.
Enough with the man-milk stuff.

There are actually men who do lactate.
And you think THAT qualifies as "teaching" gender roles?
Honestly, I don't remember ever making a connection with any one of my teachers or observing them or even liking them for that matter. I really wasn't the best student and did a LOT of daydreaming in school. I don't know what other people's childhoods and time in school was like, but that was it was for me. If I was taking "social cues" from anyone it was mostly my friends. I was always very sociable and close with my group of friends.
Well, it does. I was taught a great many things through statements or expectations that were reinforced, if you want more explicit examples that I can attest which affected me. Teaching doesn't always mean lining pupils up in desks and lecturing. Much of the learning we do occurs out of the that structure of learning we have in our schools.
You may or may not have picked up any of the meanings. What I am saying is that it is quite difficult to escape being taught gender roles in the schools.
I'll take that as a "no."
Nope, if you'd go back and read (may be harder for you), you'd see that I stated the woman could just as easily change a tire and sawyer didn't like that so he decided to change the topic to breast-feeding.
Well they are freaks and I'm sure the milk would gag a baby.
Women can't change tires. They can get a spare out and stand there looking at in until some man stops and changes it for her though.:lol:

I think I learned VERY LITTLE socially from my teachers. Sorry buddy. Like I said, if anyone had a big social influence on me, that would have been my family and friends.
No, no and no.

Maybe when you were growing up mom got out and changed the tire while dad sat in the car with a baby sucking his tit but I was raised different.
I've changed PLENTY of tires Sawyer. My dad made sure he taught me how to do those basic things so I would never be stuck in the rain waiting, like any good dad would.

Like I said, you may or may not have been taught or had learned from instructors about gender roles. That's not the point of contention with your previous statement. Those who had learned were supposedly dorks, which implied either a lack of familiarity with how easy societal norms are taught to its inhabitants, or at the very least, a criticism of those that had been taught.
He wasn't trying to shift the attention to breast feeding with this comment.
You just ran with it to talk of breastfeeding for really no reason.
It is about roles. If you and your wife or GF get a flat in the rain and you let her change it while you sit in the car with the heater on you are not a man.Dude, who the hell cares who changes the tire? It's just a damn stupid tire.
I was just having fun.:lol:
You are wasting your time and energy. Some things just go over people's heads and you have to let it go.

Yeah, well you haven't SEEN or SMELLED some of the teachers that I had. :shock: Let me tell you, you wouldn't want to be taking any social cues from them, that's for sure.
