Prince Harry's charity partners believe boyhood should be 'fluid,' aims to destroy phrase 'boys will be boys'

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are working with an organization that wants to re-write the phrase "boys will be boys" and believes boyhood is "fluid," and "socially constructed." The Duke and Duchess of Sussex teamed up with the Global Boyhood Initiative through their foundation Archewell and podcast Archetypes, which aims to break down gender stereotypes and help young boys evolve into "healthy men." The group claims it aims to encourage boys to "share emotions in healthy ways, accept & connect with others, stand up & speak out against bullying & inequality, and break free from stereotypes." According to the duo's foundation website, the partnership "works to achieve gender equality and social justice by transforming intergenerational patterns of harm and promoting patterns of care, empathy and accountability among boys and men throughout their lives." The initiative lists several "resources" on its website, in collaboration with the Sussexes, to offer "a guide for promoting gender equity by fostering positive masculinity in boys and men." According to a U.K.-based report released by the group, families can be seen as gender "factories," and parents are able to "gender" their children before they are even born.  "Parents may begin gendering their children even before birth based on the identification of external genitalia in scans, including through elaborate ‘gender reveal’ parties and a stream of purchases along gender lines (Kane, 2006; Price and Tayler, 2015)," the pamphlet reads.  "While the family is a place of nurturing and support for many children, it can also be where gender and sexuality are regulated and policed, as many of our interviewees and much research suggest," it continues.
