I couldn't believe my eyes seeing this advice to teach young boys to hit girls so as to restore the boys' self esteem and pride.

This is the kind of toxic belief that shouldn't be allowed to proliferate here and yet is embraced with open arms by other users.

That boys can only regain their pride and self esteem by hitting girls leads directly to more violence against women and girls.

They're talking about 4 year olds.

    Then most of what I said probably couldn't be comprehended and therefore can't apply, and any physical violence is likely so inert that it probably wouldn't warrant a response, and pride/self-esteem issues are pretty moot as well so their advice is doubly wrong.

    Sounds like most of the comments should be aimed towards the grownups in the situation and not the kids.
