Yes Jeff that’s true. There are problems with this though.
This time of acting out, is part of the process of growth. If you strip boys from all contact from girls through high school, when do they learn to socialize with the opposite sex? When do the girls learn to socialize with the boys?
You wind up with 18 year old young men and women that have a pre-school level of understanding when it comes to the opposite sex.
I believe that there is need of some sort of discussion, so that boys and girls could explain their thoughts to each other. It would help the boys understand the girls. Frankly, it would help the girls understand the boys.
There has to be something better than raising 21 year old adults that have only a couple of years exposure to the opposite sex.
This disconnect, stands a very good chance of destroying the ability of both sexes to deal productively with members of the opposite sex.
As it is sold, it also promotes the idea that guys are inferior beings. Is this really something we want to place on the boy’s backs, and into the minds of young women?
I must have missed that part of the article.
I went to an all male High School and we had plenty of contact with girls, it just wasn't at school, except for the huge dances our school would throw. I'm sure we "acted out", it just wasn't during school time.
You end up with what goes on in most conservative Muslim countries--men who are sexually immature and treat women like sex objects or degrade them well into their adult lives.
