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 context (post was a day or two ago) is that the girl in question routinely physically attacks the boy, the teachers aren't stopping it, and it's gone on long enough that the boy is expressing a fear of going to school/kindergarten/whatever to their parent.
