When couples disagree on how to support a daughter through puberty

My daughter just got her period and I want to handle this so differently than how my mom did with me, but when I try to talk to my partner about our approach they just defer to me like it's 'woman stuff' and I need them to actually engage with how we're going to support her together.

What we've seen

One parent carries the full emotional and educational load of a daughter's transition into womanhood while the other parent retreats into gendered assumptions.
