The rest is theoretical bs. I think that most moms of boys would put aside their political correctness and seek an end to the behavior. Schools have a responsibility to end this behavior.

This is the advice I was always told. Fight the biggest bully infront of everyone and don't be afraid to die or kill.

LOL Is that how your survived long enough to escape and swim across the ocean under moonlight, to drag your exhausted naked body out of the water and crawl up the beach onto American soil? Welcome. We don't behave that way, though, just FYI. Unless you get a job as a county dog catcher.

I've been in many fights. I haven't lost yet ! Never been in trouble but I am a girl. Killing someone in self defense with your bare hands in this country can get you off. I was never even charged .

They have periodically questioned this when a girl has hit/hurt them and I explain that they will grow up to be physically stronger than most women and so its crucial they never hit/hurt a girl from the beginning.

Like your sons they do think this is unfair and I can't blame them! I still will continue to tell them this and to my knowledge they have never fought back. And while the problem of girls hitting boys isn't rampant / frequent and my kids have never had bruises as a result, it DOES happen. (They attend a very highly regarded elementary outside the DC area).

I too wonder why. From these responses it seems that many parents of girls don't think it's an issue and don't drill into girls not to hit?? So strange to me!!!!

My question to parents of girls - is that correct? Do you just not talk about fighting with others bc you just don't see it being a problem?

Ps. And as I wrote before my boys are taught by me that it is never ok to hit a girl and if there is a problem tell the girl to stop, walk awayand tell a teacher. So, no lecturing to me about how I am raising future wife beaters please!

I teach my girls and boys not to hit anyone. People are reacting to the idea that hitting is a girl problem rather than a kid problem. The idea that girls are the perpetrators of most school violence is so insane I can't believe it needs to be pointed out.

Huge problem-must be why so many more girls than boys grow up to commit violent crime. Oh, wait...

Then repeat in other conversation, Susie is getting violent because she's angry I won't go out with her/be her friend.

And yes, you CAN hit a girl. You can hit anyone who stands between you and safety.

+100

I love that response. Bitches need to learn. Words hurt girls more than fists.

Complete bs. When you teach girls (and boys!) that they can be violent without impunity they keep doing it until one day one out of control person beats the shit out of them because they have no compulsions and don't care about repercussions.
