GC: What's a good age-appropriate way to explain to an 8 year old boy why it would be creepy, wrong, and disrespectful towards women for him to get earrings for Christmas like his sisters received, without making him feel like he's creepy and wrong himself?

GC: Have you talked to the conservatives in your life about the harms of teaching GNC boys that "real men" meet certain behavioral standards?
