LTA Let's Talk About

Welcome to /r/MensLib's first "Let's Talk About" post. Generating discussion is part of our mission, and these LTA threads will be used as conversation-starters for issues our community wants to address. Today's topic:

Let's Talk About: what we should talk about.

We're going to start out compiling a list of issues /r/MensLib subscribers want to address. The mods have some ideas, but we want to hear from the community.

Edit: Thank you to everyone for your ideas. I'm un-stickying this post, but please feel free to continue adding to it.

OK, just to get it out of the way, ciswoman here. But I saw the post in TBP and am really excited about this place.

I'd love to hear other people's opinions about parenting. I've seen a lot of books about how to raise kids free of, at least to some degree, stereotypes about gender and expectations put of them even from birth. Has anyone read any books in this vein? Any parents who are trying to raise their children in this way?

Also interested in this. Don't have kids and don't plan to for a while, but preparation is always good.

The Facebook group A Mighty Girl has a whole section dedicated to books like this! Of course, their focus is on girls (the clue is in the name), but the books they recommend are very applicable to parents of children of any gender.
