Mom's Message About Saying Boys Pick On Girls They Like: Seems like a "Men are Abusers from a Young Age Shame" post.

I'm getting a bad feeling that she didn't say anything to the guy in person and had to "vent" about it later on her FB, even more so because she was mad about herself not speaking out.

I don't agree with what the man said, but to blow it out of proportions like this is as much of a damaging behaviour example to the little girl as what that guy said/did. Because being a drama queen is also not a really desirable trait for a person to have.

But then again, I kind of see why the mother did all this. It's quite hard to see your children get hurt, especially if you're not capable of dealing with the incident like a grown-up. Bottle it up in real life and vent on FB is a bad way to go about it and I have a feeling this is what happened here.

She seems to be doing a lot of damage control on behalf of the boy, the hospital, and the employee.

Move along. There's better fights to choose.

I agree with her. The old trope of "boys hit girls that they like" seems to be enforcing a stereotype of boys hitting girls and only that direction, not the other way around, while as someone working with children, I see equally much hitting and kicking and other physical altercations going both ways between the kids.

But you do never (at least I don't) hear someone explain away a girl hitting a boy with the gir just fancying the boy. But you do hear it when boys hit girls, which on impressionable minds might inprint the idea that males express love violently.

I am not saying that the boys are going to somehow think they was in love nor that its teaching them to be violent, but it might very well inprint that idea into the minds of the girls.
