I've attempted to teach my elementary school daughter about computers. I understand that she is still young, but I would like to think that there would be a chance that she might be interested in programming or something related to computers. I tried to start teaching he some things at a young age in order to see if there was any chance of her being interested in computers before being influenced by society.
So far, she only wants to know enough about a computer to open Netflix to watch her cartoons (usually My Little Ponies).
She has no interest in learning anything else about a computer. So far, I don't think that my daughter's lack of interest in computer is due to lack of encouragement, her parents, or society. I think there are real gender differences that a minority of people are trying to ignore and are causing a problem for the younger generation. There is nothing wrong with mutual respect between genders, but I think it's disrespectful to keep attempting to force certain gender roles upon the opposite gender. If a little girl wants to play with ponies and dolls, I think it's disrespectful to try to force her to do otherwise just to fulfill someone else's agenda of blurring the line between gender roles.
