I agree with you. The double standard will never go away as long as “boys will be boys” get a pass everywhere they go, and when they don’t see grown men standing up being men and teaching them how.

It has to start in the home with respecting and helping their mothers and sisters, and with “that” kind of behavior being unacceptable on the playground on up through the higher grades into college and then into the professional world. Guys, you cannot act as if no one is looking anymore.

Well said, and thank you. That St. Bernard of a skunk was quite inspirational.

Cry harder and keep perpetuating the stereotypes that you deserve.
