[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I’m saying any list is bad but lists made to make people feel badly are worse than lists that name positively people you like. I said nothing about gender or excuses. [/quote]

Not everyone on the list felt bad! The girls who were ranked hot and sporty felt really good![/quote]

And you know this HOW? [b]I was talking to a group of girls - who were ranked all over the place in this stupid list[/b], and one who was #1 was probably the most upset about it. She said “why are these stupid boys objectifying me?”  Shed a nice kid (not mine), and is cute and very sporty which I think is why she was at the top of the list. Also, she has an older brother who these boys idolize, I think, because he’s super good at sports, which is basically what these 4th graders care about. [/quote]

Why on earth were you doing this?  Focusing on it, making it into a bigger thing than it needs to be?  [/quote]

Because I was supervising them after school and they were all talking about it and asking for my advice. They were all focused on it and I mostly tried to support them and let them know 1) it isn’t ok, 2) they shouldn’t be hurt by it for various reasons, and 3) made sure they were talking with the appropriate people at school (they are). I let their conversation and reactions guide me. [/quote]
