[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the mom of a boy, and I think GOTR sounds fantastic. I'm glad it is there! I do wish there were more programs for boys, too, though. There seems to be this flip "well, boys can do sports or boy scouts" think. Yes, and girls can do sports or girl scouts, too, but there is the need for GOTR too, right? Same with boys. And no, they aren't going to sit around and pick apart their feelings in a circle, but they DO have feelings and they need to work through them and deal with bullying, changing bodies, etc. etc. I get frustrated with some of my friends who used to be fairly unconcerned with equal rights and women's equality until they had a daughter, and now they are all girl power. I'm glad they got a clue, but they are leaving the other half of the equality equation out if they forget to support the boys. The boys need to grow to be fabulous partners for these great girls, you know?[/quote] Another mom of a boy who feels this way. I'm all for equal rights and women's equality, but please, don't do that while actively leaving our boys out![/quote]
