“My mum taught me how to treat a woman” is either dumb or creepy
Approaching and treating others like human beings regardless of their sex and gender? Too much to ask?
Agree this is way too gendered.
Teach everyone to behave compassionately in relationships, learn to argue, learn to collaborate, learn to cooperate. Good relationship skills are what everyone needs.
The strongly gendered part is the stand against the manosphere and stand against violence/misogyny.
Also, this isn’t just about romantic relationship. I would have really appreciated if anyone I looked up to showed me how to connect with fellow guys/peers.
Yeah, but we don’t educate our children in a cultural vacuum. We have to teach our children to respect everyone, but when we educate boys we have to fight the culture of rape, so we have to be especially attentive to teach boys how to interact with women.
I just do this real crazy thing where I treat everyone with respect, without consideration for their sex.
Ain’t this the truth.
The amount of women that think physical violence against their male partners is acceptable or not an issue is disgustingly high.
Is it so hard to teach to not hit people at all?
This is such a stupid thing to inject gender into.
“The amount of men that think physical violence against their female partners is acceptable or not an issue is disgustingly high”…
I think we can all agree that any amount of violence towards a partner is too much. If we wanted to inject gender into the equation statistically women are more likely to be battered by their male partners, who obviously think it’s an acceptable thing to do.
It IS a gendered issue.
Men ARE taught from an early age don’t hit girls. Boys and men who do are social outcasts for it. In a public setting men and women will step in to defend the woman.
None of the above is true about a woman attacking a man. In a public setting you’ll see indifference or even coming to the woman’s aid in attacking the man. In media slapping men is just seen as acceptable. There is zero social stigma against women being violent towards men. The assumption is always that he must deserve it.
Exactly, and that’s why more men than women die at the hands of their partners. (/s, if it’s not obvious)
Of course it’s unacceptable for women to hurt men, but please, let’s not reverse the problem.
Women have for millennia been taught that their role is to be subservient to men so this will get a downvote from me.
