[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the same basics as a girl.

Things that are specific to boys:

Toxic masculinity

Pervasive homophobia.  The messaging to them is subtly all over the place really as early as K.

When they're older, how to interact with and treat with women.  Consent.  How to interact online.  Huge topics.  I have told my son you're not getting any grace in this world.  Because men got away with so much BS for so long and still do in many ways, you will not be given the benefit of the doubt.  If a girl says you did something, you're done.  There is no room for mistakes for boys in this department (nor should there be).[/quote]

There is no such thing as toxic masculinity.

DP but we must live on different planets. You’ve never experienced toxic masculinity?? 
Teen girls these days can sniff it out and won’t put up with it. I’m raising teen boys and girls and can tell you these girls are going to run circles around the boys of their generation. I’m raising my boys to keep up with the girls. If I want them married (and I do!), I know they’re going to have to bring something to the table. Manners, common sense, the end of weaponized helplessness, conversation skills (and all the things women of our generation looked for- ambition, smarts, kindness etc). [/quote]

Toxic feminism is real. Toxic masculinity is a term made up by feminists to feminize men. [/quote]
