[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents of boys:

How are you raising your SONS to be respectful, decent, honorable, kind, and protective of others and of themselves? How are you teaching YOUR SONS to be aware, to get consent, to not drug women, to not rape women, to not harass women…or anyone? How are you preparing YOUR SONS to be a safe person, and to stay safe?

I am so tired of “how are we preparing girls.” I want to hear more from parents of boys how you are being part of the solution, how you are being proactive, how you are making positive change in this world where boys and men are usually the aggressors, the unsafe people, the predators, the perpetrators. I want to know what you are teaching your SONS.[/quote]

Mom of 3 boys here. I have talked about consent with them multiple times. It also seems that boys these ages (teens/college) are much more well-versed about it than when we were that age. I also talk to them about choosing friends wisely because peer influence and expectations impact so much at this age. They intuitively know that drugging and raping is wrong, obviously. I have also told them not to put themselves in situations in which they could be accused of wrongdoing, wrongly or rightly. [/quote]
