I don't see how this fits in with the above article. There has to be a line, how much care for your child is too much care?
As well, the removal of gender roles doesn't save your child from emotional hurt, I think the only potential goal is to raise a generation that doesn't have pre-set notions of gender identity. It seems to be more of an ideological goal (which you can disagree with on those grounds of course), rather than one of helicopter parenting. Social progress and all that.
