Those books are truly cringe-worthy.
This is the strongest case for "not recycling" (giving to someone else) I have seen.
I think I would have given them back and said, "While we appreciate your gesture, these books do not represent our family roles, nor others."
I would be tempted, though, if say they are liberal, to give them a very conservative right wing book. And when they look up confused, say, "Exactly." (I wouldn't do it, but I would fantasize about it.)
I find it demeaning to both parties (my mom always made more money than my dad and my dad kissed more boo boos...and this was 35 years ago!)
