I dislike the #boymom so much. As a mom of a boy I feel like it places a box around my son and my experience as a mom.
Do you think in the countries where women learn English better is due to women feeling the need to conform more than men? Like, women become whatever is needed of them and if that means learning another language, then they will do that. Or that women may feel the constant need to improve themselves (ex: dieting, self help) and if learning another language is added to that list they will do that, versus men who may not or do not feel that pressure to change or improve? (And I’m speaking in generalities here. I know not all men or women operate like this). Maybe this is all covered in the wapo article you linked but I read my free articles already, which, like, how? It’s the first of the month. And, finally, does this pressure increase once you become a mother, especially if it reflects directly on your parenting? I know that it does for me.
