I can relate. I am terrified that when my 3 yr old starts preschool in a couple of weeks, all that gendered crap is going to start flowing into our home. So far, we've had very little to deal with, and we've been pretty cool about it all. (One time an older boy told her she was fat b/c she still had her baby-belly and she cried and cried and I wanted to kill him, but I just emphasized how great she was and gave her lots of belly kisses.) I'm worried she's going to come home with all kinds of "boys should do this and girls should do that" nonsense. It drives me crazy, but you're right, we gotta stay cool. Otherwise they'll rebel against us, right? Oh! I can relate.
