    Men grow up to have whatever habits worked well for them when they were boys.

    Tolerate dishonesty in boys? They’ll be dishonest as men.

    Encourage aggression in boys? They’ll be aggressive as men.

    Oblige pickiness in boys? They’ll be picky as men.

    This is inevitably true of women too, though girls tend to push different boundaries than boys.

    Reward emotional manipulation in girls? They’ll be emotionally manipulative as women. (Boys do this too, but they’re often not as subtle about it, get called out, and switch to anger instead)
