But isn't the "boys will be boys"/"this is how women are treated" attitude PART of the reason that women have to face harassment?  Isn't accepting that this is not a big deal tacitly accepting the behavior itself?  It's also the very end of the school year- no one would remember the fallout from this next school year except the boy himself.[/quote]

The trick is not to go to one extreme or the other. We should not ignore bad behavior totally. Neither should we rush to the extreme for punishment. The degree of offense commensurate with the degree of censure.

There's also a matter of street smarts. There are some situations where sometimes taking matters into your own hands helps..like[b] the thread where the bullied boy finally beat up his bully.[/b] [/quote]

But in that thread almost every step had been taken before "street smarts" won- the OP talked to the principal, the boy's parents, etc.

I don't know, I think this behavior warrants a call to the principal. [/quote]
