[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=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.

It is some bs- teachers need to be involved with the social dynamics. We have a girl in my son's class who hits the boys-- proud to say nine of the boys have hit her back and I'm sure it's tempting.

That said, I tell my son he can't hit girls, period. Boys who hit girls may become less inhibited to hit women later.... men who hit women (or little kids) are garbage. I've made my feelings known to my son. [/quote]

By allowing this girl to hit the boys and not allowing them to defend themselves, you are teaching them that their bodies and their safety and their well-being matters less than the well being of girls. You're incredibly sexist.   You make the MRAs right. [/quote]
