(Bill_o’Rights)"Little girls run around wearing shirts that say “Girls Rule” as if they’re in competition with boys.

(L_Candide)Get over it. I grew up in a time when "The He-Man's Woman Hating Club" sign hung on more than one tree house in just about every neighborhood. The way it was - the way it always will be, except now, girls are speaking up.

I’m surprised that you don’t see the difference between child on child behavior and adult sponsored belittlement of boys. What you speak of was little (immature) boys posting the “The He-Man’s Woman Hating” club signs they devised and posted. The same was true of little girls with their “girls only” clicks of childhood. But now adults are funding, printing, and distributing tee-shirts attacking little boys. Can’t you discern and see the difference between immature child to child behavior and adult sanctioned messages 'dis'-ing boys?

Not that EITHER is right, but cripes...is it really that big a deal?

When little boys are subjected to these kind of messages from adults it does take a toll on them. Pick up the book The War Against Boys : How Misguided Feminism Is Harming Our Young Men and do some reading of researched information on the subject.

The War Against Boys, by Christina Hoff Sommers

Would a US Federal Agency Mislead the Public and Endanger Children to Protect a Cabinet Secretary's Feminist Agenda?

EdEquity Mail List. This is what teachers are doing to boys and saying about boys when they think no one is watching.

Anybody who grew up in that era must be a septigenarian. I'm pretty sure that those signs had their origin in the "Little Rascals" movie shorts featuring Spanky and Our Gang.

Feuding between boys and girls is used to be a normal right of passage as kids asserted their identities. Today, for boys, it's been criminalized by feminist inspired laws, and made punishable by expulsion and possible arrest from kindergarten forward.
