Girls being physically aggressive with boys in school - "you can't hit me back bc I'm a girl!"

[Anonymous]

I have three sons and they have told me often that girls LOVE to use the "You can't hit me, I'm a girl" card.

My sons have come home with bruises on their shins from girls kicking them, on their arms from girls grabbing them and squeezing. They've seen girls throw balls at boys' faces, smack them in their faces, punch them in the stomach. We're talking about upper elementary school.

There are girls who go way overboard provoking boys verbally and physically to tempt them to retaliate. I don't know if the boys ever do, I know that mine never have, but I do know it's some bullshit.

Discuss.

They're right. They shouldn't hit girls. Deal with it.

This has been discussed in the other thread already.

They won't always be the same size. Most men have 50lbs on me.

I would talk to the teacher though. The girls are obviously out of control.

This isn't actually a problem, OP.

Violence against women? Now, there's a problem.

Your boys will survive this.

No. This was my comment in that thread. I want to hear what people thought about this situation. The other thread was specifically about whether or not the boy should remain friends with a boy who hit a girl.

I have never heard a girl say this or a boy complain of this, even a single time. Are you an MRA nutter?

If someone dares you to jump of a cliff, will you do it/ If someone tells you to smoke a joint, will you do it? Etc. Just because some idiot provokes your DS doesn't meant he is not responsible for his own reaction. He is. He's responsible for hitting or not hitting, women or men.

Of course they will survive it. But you think it's okay for girls to beat up on boys? If your dd did this, you'd give her a high five and condone it? We are not talking about men vs women. We are talking about girl vs boy.

+1

And the girls shouldn't be hitting anyone else, either. Two wrongs don't make a right.

And if there are girls who are really that out of control and are routinely giving other kids black eyes and bruises, FFS talk to the teachers and principle. That is just not normal.

It is a problem when ANYONE, boy or girl, is subject to being hit, kicked, poked, or pinched at school. Everyone has a right to be free from violence and to protect their own body.

I have told my sons very clearly that they should NEVER hit a girl or woman first, but if she hits you, put her on the floor and then get away from her. Do what you have to do to protect your body.

My son and his friends spent a whole year pretending a girl was invisible. If she walked up they walked away if she spoke they acted like they did not see or hear her.

Teachers let girls get away with murder.

Ignore, ignore, ignore.

Walk away!

I don't even know what that means. But anyway, I've never heard a girl say it myself, but I've seen bruises on my sons and their friends, too. They've compared bruises at my house. It happens and it's not infrequent. I mentioned it to a teacher once and she said it's an issue they have to deal with as some girls do it to get the attention of the boys and that's how they go about it.

I would tell the teacher. The girls need to be monitored and punished.

Listen. I said upfront that they DO NOT hit them back and they WOULD NOT. What's your point?
