[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so interesting! My DD does competitive gymnastics. At her gym it’s a very healthy culture. I steered her away from lacrosse (nasty mean girl stuff in our town and where I grew up) and she pulled away from soccer at a young age (also because of mean girl/aloha girl drama). Swimming had a bunch of over involved tiger parents in our area and that put her off, but somehow tennis where I live is weirdly supportive and collegial.

It’s fascinating how some activities have a culture of their own depending on where you live. We’re not in the dmv and some sport cultures are very different from the stereotypes I remember from growing up. And some are the same, cough cough, boys’ lacrosse.[/quote]

Lacrosse is really rapey in the U.S. [/quote]

No. It’s not.  College in the US in general has problems with sexual assault.  Fraternities have the highest amounts of sexual assaults reported.  With the big football schools more sexual assaults happen when there are football games and they happen at parties, dorms, anywhere on campus.   Most go unreported.
