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.
I quite enjoy running into your comments. I know we haven’t always agreed in the past on some small things, but I do very much view you as an ally around here <3
To be honest, I just felt like some things needed to be pointed out, that we need to still be careful about some things even while we’re finally finding something hopeful to hold on to. Now that I’ve done that “civic duty” I’m ready to shut up about it, give my support to the best choices available, and hope my fears don’t come to pass.
I completely agree, we should always be careful and vigilant. Thank you for looking out for that regardless of where we each end up in our personal opinions.
Sending all the good luck and hopes into the world today <3
