What I think is fascinating is that she says we copy what we are exposed to (what we "sit across from") but she sat across from her father too. What is it that tells us to absorb only gendered behaviour? I grew up with only my mother so I inevitably picked up many of her 'dropped habits' but I hope that we can hear such tales and be conscious now of trying to being free (from gender straitjackets) to be ourselves (hard to find out what that is, of course) and be inspired by qualities from either gender that would fit us, not that we have been squeezed into or forced to tidy up and take on board. How's that for mixed metaphors?
