[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If someone told one of your son’s female classmates that she throws just like a boy, it would be understood to be a compliment. If someone told one of your son’s male classmates that he throws just like a girl, it would be understood to be an insult. That’s the thinking behind these pro-girl t-shirts. It’s not okay to insult boys because they’re as awesome as girls are, and neither sex should be thought of as inferior, but there was a time when adult women couldn’t own land, couldn’t vote, and were considered to be the property of their husbands. There are still places in the world today where women aren’t allowed to drive, girls are much less likely to attend school, and females have to be accompanied by a male whenever they leave their home.[/quote]

You realize we don't live in any of those places?  We are agitating our children to fight battles that are already over.  And since they cannot fight those battles, they move on to just general dismantling.  They don't even know what they're dismantling, but by golly, they're mad![/quote]
