[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so tired of this. Boys pretend fight. They like guns, swords, axes, grenade launchers, whatever. Sounds like you are fighting against it and have potentially made it worse. Forbidden fruit. Playing with toy guns has no relationship to actually using real guns for real violence[/quote]

THIS 100%[/quote]

Excuse me. Girls like to fight too. I beat up all the boys in my third grade class during our sword-fighting with our long school rulers, which became all notched and useless. My father made me a hazelnut wood bow and I had to scrounge for arrows. Fast forward to now, and I'm a dainty, feminine sort of woman who allows her daughter and son to pretend fight all they want. Pre-Covid, they ran around the neighborhood with the other kids, all equipped with the latest in Nerf firepower (water cannon in summer). Their dusting chores are bearable ONLY because they tie the long duster to their waist (claymore, a type of long two handed sword), tuck in the sticky roller (medieval mace) and launch into the fray like their ancestors of old. The dust bunnies are given no quarter.

OP, you are being so incredibly silly. Missing so many creative opportunities here!
