[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that the doodling, in and of itself, is not a big deal.  However, I wonder if those of you responding would be quite so relaxed about the situation if it was a boy drawing female anatomy and saying things like, "Close your legs," to a girl.  Somehow I think there's a major double-standard at play here.  If a boy were the one doing this, there would be a pages-long debate, accusing him of horrible intentions, being some kind of deviant, and insisting he be punished, reprimanded, you name it.

Why is it perfectly "normal" for a girl to behave like this, but a boy would be vilified if caught doing the exact same things?[/quote]

I'm the mother of a boy and a girl.  My son is a year and a half older, but emotionally they are peers.  I agree with you 100%, this a double standard.  I would not be happy with a boy showing my daughter vagina drawings and telling her to close her legs.  The situation you describe would make my son (who is outgoing) uncomfortable.[/quote]
