[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a truly hilarious and deeply worrying microcosm of gender dynamics in the U.S. Oh yes we all agree the boys behavior was unacceptable but if the girl keeps telling the truth about his behavior it might ruin his (kindergarten) career![/quote] She isn’t telling the truth about his behavior. She is labeling him. An 8/9 year old labeling a freaking 5 year old is insane. She doesn’t have to accept being called a bad word and she did the appropriate thing by telling trusted adults. But now these adults need to do the right thing by helping her contextualize the difference in being called this word by a young child vs a peer or adult, and how to handle it without turning into a bully of a kinder kid.
