Girl Power vs. Boy Power

I appreciate this video for its unique perspective on the gender equality discussion.  It makes me think, not for the first time, that if I ever were to have kids (please note the if), that I would want the privilege of raising a daughter and a son.  I feel like siblings of different genders are a wonderful opportunity to show the other what pure compassion and love and trust and play look like across gender lines, without the complication of "cooties" or dating or relationships or sex.  But this video prompted this thought because it challenged not what we are teaching our daughters about gender roles and leadership, but what we are teaching our sons about what what we are teaching our daughters.  In all our efforts to empower our daughters, what have we done to teach our sons about how they are a part of that?  Part of that effort, part of that realm.  Are we setting up a healthy realm that isn't bound by gender roles--or have we, inadvertently, set up a power struggle?
