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.

The person who is pictured in the OP is not encouraging someone to take karate lessons and learn peaceful means of self defense or self discipline.

And I'm explaining that that person is wrong and the lessons will do the opposite of what they think. They think the kid will be taught to hit back, I'm saying they will be taught actual defense, not to hit back.

    You should have been replying to the person I was replying to above, then, and not to me. You didn't make your position clear, you just came out swinging with overblown sarcasm and dragging Israel into it. Chill out; we're probably on the same side of this.
