Argh...

Conventional attitudes strike again...My coworker's teenage daughter is having trouble with bullying from some boys at school. So I overhear the mother talking to her daughter's teacher and saying "Those boys need to learn not to treat women that way." I think the issue is actually not to treat *people* that way.

That's where I might ask, if I heard it, "They should treat men that way?"

Well, naturally; "Boys will be boys."

Blech.
