    As little kids we got like no genderbased education from our parents. When we moved our grandmother got a lot more control and dumped blue boyish stuff on my brother and forbid the girly things. Has never worn a dress since and now is still not willing to wear one

    (it could be that us older sisters influenced that he wants to wear dresses too)

      Bummer. Happens to almost all men in the US. Maybe less now, but this new red pill generation is wild.

      I need context to understand your story. How old was your brother when you moved? How often was he wearing dresses before the move? How quickly did it stop? And how old is he now?

        • he was ~4 years old
        • i actually dont know how often, but i would guess as often as we others too. from what i understood he actually liked it so often enough
        • a few weeks or months (was 5 at the time so its mostly something i heard from older siblings & mother)
        • 21 i think
