[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These boymoms are largely responsible for most of the misogyny in the U.S. at present.[/quote]

Yes! [b]I have seen such a huge double standard amongst most people when it comes to raising their boys and girls. [/b]These parents expect the world from girls but keep giving their boys a free pass for everything. Basically shrugging their shoulders and saying “boys will be boys”. Can’t stand that phrase. Discipline your boys, make them work hard, teach them manners and how to focus and stop giving in to every demand of theirs. [/quote]

Have you really, though?  Or are you just confusing television/movies/the internet with real life (like most posters in this thread)?[/quote]

Oh please.  I listen to NPR while commuting.  NPR is not, as you put it, “television/movies/internet.”  Its journalism on the radio.

And NPR have had numerous pieces - even whole series - about how parents expect perfection from girls but these same parents all give boys a free-pass for everything; the parents just shrug their shoulders when boys misbehave and make lame excuses like “boys will be boys.”

Everything in America is so completely biased against girls! [/quote]

"Boys will be boys" is lame and wrong when you are talking about teenage boys and sexual abuse.  But its pretty apt when you are looking at a bunch of six year olds on a playground.  Girls' brain development happens earlier and they mature more quickly than boys, so six year old boys look completely moronic compared to the same age girls.
