[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I’m starting with my daughters and the issues they face at school.

As an example, DD was talking with a friend and school and a boy came over and immediately hijacked the conversation, kept telling DD she’s wrong, being overall obnoxious. DD asked him to leave them alone and he refused.

The school teaches the kids to just walk away in that situation. DD instead told the guy to move on or she’d kick his ass.

DD got in trouble and I stood up for her. I explained that the boys need to learn no means no. They aren’t entitled to a conversation with my daughter, they aren’t entitled to make her leave an area she wants to be in.

I’m just so tired of the “boys will be boys” mentality when they’re young. It leads to them growing up to be entitled men.

So DD knows if a boy is giving her problems, we fully support her doing whatever she needs to do to get him to go away. [/quote]
Good for you, PP.  i love that she had no self doubt about her physical capabilities. Commenters complaining about her “threatening “physical violence” in response to his actual physical aggression (I.e., not leaving them alone, as requested) are so off-base. The boy didn’t have the right to physically bother her - he’s the one who should have gotten in trouble.[/quote]
