I couldn’t believe my eyes seeing this advice to teach young boys to hit girls so as to restore the boys’ self esteem and pride.

This is the kind of toxic belief that shouldn’t be allowed to proliferate here and yet is embraced with open arms by other users.

That boys can only regain their pride and self esteem by hitting girls leads directly to more violence against women and girls.

    Crazy “debate”. I rarely see people uphold those kinds of positions. Sure, let the kids fight like in some kind of medieval rooster fight and see who comes out on top. That’s probably gonna solve the underlying issue??? I don’t think so.

    (Mental. The adults should cheer for him being more clever than that. And they should help him and make it stop. Mostly because they’re the adults in the situation. Especially the ones with a background in education and handling/teaching kids.)

        At least you should hang out less in the feminism community if you don’t like feminists?!?

        If you ask me, there’s a good chance school bullies are indeed victims themselves. I mean they then don’t get to play the victim card, and it has nothing to do with gender at that age. But I can pretty much guarantee you there’s something wrong in that girl’s life if she’s 4 and has a reason to pick violence as a strategy.
