Ever heard the phrase "boys will be boys?" Probably. It's used to mean something along the lines of "boys will behave badly" and depending on one's perspective it might be seen as either disrespectful or enabling, but either way it assumes that there is something about boys that's uncivil.
What do we think of boys - and men in general? Are they naturally bad or encouraged to be bad? Is bad behavior more tolerable in boys than in girls? Do we limit boys with phrases and attitudes like "boys will be boys?" Are boys even more uncivil than girls? Does anything need to change in anyone's behavior?
These are just some questions to get your started Share whatever thoughts and stories you have.
