“I don’t want to support this gender-essentialist nonsense.”

My wife of three years teaches middle school. She’s an amazing teacher and has built wonderful relationships with her students. She teaches huge classes of 30-plus students. Generally, her methodology is very focused on strict routines/procedures, systems, and a lot of teacher-oriented control, rather than allowing students freedom to move around or have unstructured time. I have no opinion on this except that it’s really started to affect our parenting.

Think about what a more equitable division of power over parenting decisions might look like and point out the things that aren’t working for you. You may feel outmatched here, but you are not. You are as much of a parent as your wife is, and you have to advocate for your child’s needs. It may require a third party, such as a therapist or family counselor, to help the two of you get on the same page here, but it is incredibly important that you do. No backing down—your kid needs you.
