If this means that they are willing to affirm boys being "manly, rough, and outgoing" if that's how the boys choose to behave, then I would believe that it's "an opportunity for them to be whoever they want to be." But if they deter boys from behaving in this manner when they choose to act in that manner, I don't see how it's accomplishing the desired goal.
