1 Or parents can start both sexes off on the right foot. like they've always done in some families. Everyone involved in every project around the home, from the beginning. Even everyday chores. Kids start off watching, holding the light, fetching tools(learning the names), etc. before actually getting to try things themselves--under supervision. Eventually. they do it themselves. If they mess up, it can always be fixed--and they can see where they went wrong. If they say their friends don't do such things, express sympathy. And let the friends join in, sometimes. Farmers did this from the beginning of time. This isn't just theory. I've done it with all my female cousins and every child of every woman I've dated. I never met one that expressed regret over knowing how to do something.
