boys should caretake and nurture others
girls should take the lead in decision - making
it was okay for boys to behave violently in certain contexts
both boys and girls should express all emotions freely

Explanation:

bell hooks, a prominent feminist scholar, often critiques patriarchy. Patriarchy is a system that historically has subjugated women. In her works, she emphasizes how women's bodies and identities are targeted under patriarchal structures. Regarding the gender - role question, in traditional gender - role teachings (which often follow patriarchal norms), boys were sometimes given more leniency in violent behavior (as a way to enforce male dominance), while girls were socialized into more submissive or non - decision - making roles, and boys were not typically the primary caretakers.

Answer:

For the first question: Women's bodies.
For the second question: It was okay for boys to behave violently in certain contexts.
