Toxic Masculinity

First of all, I did not say anything about the treatment of kids making a parent disrespectful. How you want to raise your kids is your choice. I am giving my thoughts on how my parents raised me.

My parents would rather they came home to me playing video games or watching TV as a kid than coming home from the park playing with a stick. I have experienced that parents try to civilize boys at a very young age, from what I have seen. They would rather give their kid an iPad to keep them busy, than to rough house and have fun with them. Parents like to give technology to kids to keep them quiet and entertained, which only gets them addicted to it at an early age, and also doesn't do any good for their health.

Young boys have a lot of energy and they want to build things, play with others, and do fun stuff while being social. But in school, they are told to sit down, be quiet, and be respectful of others.
