To my son, I teach that there are no gender roles set in stone. If in doubt, stay single and childless; he has many, many decades to opt out if the Right One shows up.
Yes, I am hoping that I have daughters. I do not want a son. I experienced life as a man and have seen what the life of my partners is in comparison. If the girls come out even half as decent looking - they'll coast through life with little guidance needed from me.
I have friends with just daughters - and they all do not envy the parents with boys. They are all feeling blessed to have daughters. I think being a woman has its struggles but the plights are mostly for those in the poor class. If you're upper middle class or above as most people in tech within SV - you can mostly skate by many issues. The issues of a man do not go away regardless of your class - short of being hyper-wealthy.
