[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve raised our four boys like you’d raise girls as the social/ emotional skills of girls are more valued in school-aged years. They all play a string instruments and began ballet at 2 (they still all are in dance at 4,6,9,13). They don’t play traditional boy sports so we can avoid the toxic masculine energy. They speak two languages. We require exquisite manners and don’t tolerate rough housing. They also have no access to screens without a parent present. [/quote]

The problem is telling boys at a young age that just by being born masculine they are toxic.[/quote]

Yes. It is an extraordinarily cruel thing to do to a young boy. To tell them they are toxic and inferior by their immutable physical characteristics is horrendous. [/quote]

These same parents will be the ones to complain their sons hate them and don’t want anything to do with them. They call it toxic when really they just failed to raise their children well. [/quote]
