I’m not argueing that girls/women don’t need to be smart/safe. They do.

What I’m saying is the attitude that “boys will be boys” is dangerous culturally to ALL girls/women because it exemmpts boys/men from the culutural expectation to act responsibily.

That attitude should not be promoted. It is dangerous (not to mention hypocritical).

Parents should not raise their boys to be “weak” and with a “boys will be boys” attitude.

Excellent statement!! It is very dangerous and I find it very concerning that pro life advocates think and promote "boys will be boys" while blaming only women for unplanned pregnancies and abortions. Unintended consequences of "that's what men do".
