Does growing up with close opposite sex siblings/cousins affect a child's understanding of the opposite sex?

I wouldn't discount that possibility. However, I only have brothers, and grew up in a large extended family that consisted mostly of men. I ended up respecting women, believing in equal rights, and despising misogynistic attitudes anyway, and pretty much all of the men in my family pretty much feel the same way, so having opposite gender siblings is not necessarily a deciding factor.

I do have an awesome mom, though, if that makes a difference. "Do you identify as a humanist, feminist, or men's rights activist, or anti-feminist?" I identify as none of those things.

I despise artificially limiting labels.

I am anti-feminist because I believe in equal rights for everyone. I'm glad I had a daughter. I would hate to raise a son in this generation where men have no rights.

Some women (with sons) are realizing this.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
