[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not fair at all. It's just boys being boys. All they did was hit and body slam. That's fine for boys. [/quote] Your statements "it's just boys being boys" and "that's fine for boys" are both incredibly problematic. Both statements excuse harmful behavior, lower expectations for boys, and reinforce gender stereotypes that hurt everyone. You are sending the message that boys can’t control themselves, which is both untrue and unfair to boys. When adults shrug off harmful behavior, boys learn that accountability and empathy are optional, as well as that boundaries don’t apply to them You're also reinforcing gender stereotypes that boys are naturally rough, aggressive, or impulsive and that gender determines character.
