i have been saying for years, i talk to my boys about all this stuff and so much more. respect is the bottom line in our house with so many things. that includes political, religious, parents, lol, and respecting the kids so they can feel it, see it, know it. and self respect is a big one. dont respect self, cant respect others.
but... as a parent that is very time consuming. lots of parents, too many dont do that.
what if you have a father that has taught his son that this is who his rightful role is. what if he has a mother that has said.... meh, boys will be boys and promoted this.
that is why i have never been one to create monsters, out of these situations. wrong, hell ya. but... it is why i so advocate that boys need to be taught what rape is, because if they are not being taught at home, they are picking up what society teaches them. i dont think they are throw away.
