Many boys are/were taught what is right and wrong. The problem is many chose to ignore those teachings and do what they do anyway.

I think some of it comes from men getting together and learning how to ignore all that teaching and doing what they want anyway. That is a powerful thing. Men can be tough on each other and many weaker men follow along and then it becomes a thing they do.

Apparently learning the hard way is going to be what is needed.

I don’t think you’re quite remembering history correctly. How long has it actually been wrong for men to make sexual passes at women? How long has it actually been the man’s responsibility to check himself? And how long have we actually been properly teaching men to do the right thing, and by properly I mean not just saying the words but condemning it in the things we see around us?

And I know, someone’s going to say we shouldn’t have to teach men that. But shouldn’t and don’t have to are two different things. I personally wonder why so many people have trouble with simple tasks on their computers but I still help them figure it out.
