Have you never met parents who wanted a boy instead of a girl and exert both blatant and subliminal “pressures” to behave in a certain way? I have.
What specifically is your issues with that particular description? Do you have a different word(s) that would relay the intended meaning more accurately?
I think ‘rearing pressures’ is what’s being pointed out.
I was not ridiculing your statement at all.
You are fully correct in what was said.
I was admittedly being a little immature and zeroing in on that one phrase of ‘rearing pressures’. Beavis & Butthead style.
Then, as a way of admitting that was off topic, I said
“Okay, Silly Hour is over”. I was speaking of my own
silly remark. Sorry if that was out of place.
