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.

Neither would I. That's obviously stupid.

However, you still didn't answer the core question. What would you teach them?

I'm beginning to suspect you don't actually have a good answer. You just wanted something to be outraged at.

I'm not Velma. But thanks for the assurance that you're not paying any attention to the discussion, just being abrasive and lashing out. I wonder who taught you that.
