[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Overheard a group of 10-year-olds talk about this--according to the one who brought it up, her mom said she had to wait until 6th grade.

I'm fair-haired, but even so I remember [b]being teased by a boy about not shaving when I was in 6th or 7th grade.[/b] I didn't bring it up with my mom, but I wish I had--she thought I wasn't self conscious about it.[/quote]

This pisses me off, though I'm aware that boys learn that it's all about their gaze early and it happens a lot. [/quote]

The girls tease more than the boys btw.[/quote]

Well if that's true, then I'm sure the boys will be cowed into a lifetime of body modification to transform themselves into creatures considered deserving of love and respect... oh, wait.

Yeah, never mind. Just talk to your precious boy (who can no doubt do no wrong unless, well, you know... boys will be boys) about how girls aren't made of plastic or paper and he's a junior asshole for telling my girl her legs are too hairy.

In return, I've already done you the favor of telling her not to retaliate by calling him short, pointing out that although boys' body snarking at girls is especially vile given the incredible power they hold to declare girls attractive (and thus worthy of love and respect) or not, she should take the high road.

Not the person you quoted, but I think she meant that GIRLS are teased more by other GIRLS than by boys.

I'm sorry you have such a massive chip on your shoulder. You must have had to deal with some real misogynistic jerks throughout your life. Wow. [/quote]
