GO GET U SOME

[redofthehood-deactivated2022070]

For months, every morning when my daughter was in preschool, I watched her construct an elaborate castle out of blocks, colorful plastic discs, bits of rope, ribbons and feathers, only to have the same little boy gleefully destroy it within seconds of its completion.

No matter how many times he did it, his parents never swooped in BEFORE the morning’s live 3-D reenactment of “Invasion of AstroMonster.” This is what they’d say repeatedly:

“You know! Boys will be boys!” 

“He’s just going through a phase!”

“He’s such a boy! He LOVES destroying things!”

“Oh my god! Girls and boys are SO different!”

“He. Just. Can’t. Help himself!”

I tried to teach my daughter how to stop this from happening. She asked him politely not to do it. We talked about some things she might do. She moved where she built. She stood in his way. She built a stronger foundation to the castle, so that, if he did get to it, she wouldn’t have to rebuild the whole thing. In the meantime, I imagine his parents thinking, “What red-blooded boy wouldn’t knock it down?”

She built a beautiful, glittery castle in a public space.

It was so tempting.

He just couldn’t control himself and, being a boy, had violent inclinations.

She had to keep her building safe.

Her consent didn’t matter. Besides, it’s not like she made a big fuss when he knocked it down. It wasn’t a “legitimate” knocking over if she didn’t throw a tantrum.

His desire — for power, destruction, control, whatever- - was understandable.

Maybe she “shouldn’t have gone to preschool” at all. OR, better if she just kept her building activities to home.

I know it’s a lurid metaphor, but I taught my daughter the preschool block precursor of don’t “get raped” and this child, Boy #1, did not learn the preschool equivalent of “don’t rape.”

Not once did his parents talk to him about invading another person’s space and claiming for his own purposes something that was not his to claim. Respect for her and her work and words was not something he was learning.  How much of the boy’s behavior in coming years would be excused in these ways, be calibrated to meet these expectations and enforce the “rules” his parents kept repeating?

There was another boy who, similarly, decided to knock down her castle one day. When he did it his mother took him in hand, explained to him that it was not his to destroy, asked him how he thought my daughter felt after working so hard on her building and walked over with him so he could apologize. That probably wasn’t much fun for him, but he did not do it again.

There was a third child. He was really smart. He asked if he could knock her building down. She, beneficent ruler of all pre-circle-time castle construction, said yes… but only after she was done building it and said it was OK. They worked out a plan together and eventually he started building things with her and they would both knock the thing down with unadulterated joy. You can’t make this stuff up.

Take each of these three boys and consider what he might do when he’s older, say, at college, drunk at a party, mad at an ex-girlfriend who rebuffs him and uses words that she expects will be meaningful and respecte, “No, I don’t want to. Stop. Leave.”

The “overarching attitudinal characteristic” of abusive men is entitlement

[gettingahealthybody-deactivated]

This is so brilliant. We learn things from socialization process. What our parents, friends and peers do, media and all. I think perhaps rape is because parents think boys will be boys, they bully, fight and destroy things, it’s their characteristics so they don’t bother to stop them. But it manifests in them, knowing or unknowingly, they will just think, because I’m a boy and boys tend to do these, so it doesn’t matter even if the girl hates it, says no, because I’m a boy.

Just reblog this, this message is really powerful. For parents and future parents.

[ami-angelwings]

What’s also interesting, is if you frame this as about spoiling your children, and about spoiled children, people tend to agree and get it. They’ll agree that children whose parents lay down no boundaries for them when they hurt others, who let them have whatever they want at the expense of others, and justify away the harm they do, will probably grow up thinking they can do this to others (usually weaker than them, or they perceive as weaker) as adults.  But if you mention the word “privilege”, “entitlement” or anything relating to gender, everybody freaks the f- out and will deny up, down, back, forth, and sideways that how you raise a child, what you allow them to get away with, or training them that their hurtful behaviour will always be justified, can affect them at all.

The Problem with ‘Boys Will Be Boys’

[pollariis-blog]

THIS

[medleymisty]

random late night thought about Sims stories:

I see a lot of people say that they’re nervous about leaving comments and they think that they’d be bothering people, but every single writer I know lives and dies on comments. I can’t think of anyone who would be annoyed by a comment on their stuff.

It’s really tragic in a way. Because people really want and need comments and when they don’t get any they just figure that no one is reading and no one cares and their stuff isn’t any good, so they stop writing, but apparently there are actually all these people reading but they’re too scared to comment, and so we all just go down in flames of insecurity and anxiety.

But hey, at least we’re going down together! ;)

[loonarlakes]

pls don’t be nervous to comment on any of my stuff ever. i will not judge you and you will not annoy me, i will appreciate it. but don’t think you have to either, i will continue my blog even if you don’t, but I’d love feedback!!

[rindletonbay]

^ preach!!!! ❤️ I’d LOVE the feedback.

[ka039]

ATTENTION ALL GIRLS AND LADIES: if you walk from home, school, office or anywhere and you are alone and you come across a little boy crying holding a piece of paper with an address on it, DO NOT TAKE HIM THERE! take him straight to the police station for this is the new 'gang' way of rape. The incident is getting worse. Warn your families. Reblog this so this message can get accross to everyone.

If this actually is a thing. . Damn reblog this

Charlie figured the best way to spend the time he had before the party was to train up Sansa’s skills.

charlie: Alright, girl, lay down. See? Lie down -- like you’re going to bed.

sansa: *does the thing*

charlie: Hah! Thatta girl. I swear, you’re gonna end up being smarter than most people out there.

[punkinsims-blog]

xx.

[punkinsims-blog]

[punkinsims-blog]

Charlie sent off a quick text to Brent, letting him know he was heading off with an apology of his own, and loaded Sansa up into his truck and headed off. By the time they got there, Sansa quickly bolted into the house, while he rushed as much as he could. Apparently there wasn’t any steadily available bathrooms at the festival -- or any open gas stations to go to, for that matter.

Needless to say he crashed after that was taken care of.

[punkinsims-blog]

Naturally, as soon as he heard her, Charlie came coming.

charlie: Hey, hey, hey, what’s wrong girl?

sansa: *whines*.

charlie: Too much, huh?

sansa: *whines even more*

charlie: Alright, I get the message. Don’t worry, we’re gonna head home now, okay? C’mon, let’s go.

sansa: *barks*.

[punkinsims-blog]

Charlie isn’t the only one suffering. Poor baby can’t stand the loud speakers blasting out the music. It’s getting too much for her ears.

[punkinsims-blog]

Turns out Brent had to hurry a lot sooner than he thought. He pratically downed the entire drink in one gulp, profusely and quickly apologized to Charlie and dashed off before the other could get a word in edge wise. He simply sighed, finding a place to sit down and enjoy his drink, and wait out the next hour.

[punkinsims-blog]

Maybe the glowy punch will calm his nerves. The two decided to go for the Jokesters team this go around. Mostly because they heard this punch tastes better.

[punkinsims-blog]

brent: Oh! I just remembered too. The art gallery over there!

charlie: yeah?

brent: I have to go over there for an hour pretty soon. The boss found out I was coming down here, and she told me I needed to go over to it for something they’re doing tonight for certain artists.

charlie: Oh.

brent: I’m so sorry! It’ll only be for an hour, and I can always see if I can get you in there.

charlie: N-nah, man, it’s fine. Sides, I don’t know how cool they’d be about Sansa being in there. It’ll only be for an hour, I can find some way to entertain myself.

charlie: *like hiding behind any available bush and waiting for an entire hour from this crazy shit until the one person i know comes back*

[punkinsims-blog]

brent: Charlie! Hey, I’m so glad you could make it out here!

charlie: Hey, man. It was no prob. Didn’t think I’d meet anyone actually interested in these.

brent: You kidding? I love festivals! We used to have fairs back where I grew up, but they never do in the Bay. It’s a bummer. But when I found out they did this stuff out here, I’ve been dying to get to go to one! It must have been great for you up here, you could get to go to any one you wanted all the time!

charlie: Heh, yeah. I usually just went over to the Spice Festival. Best one out here, and it would be down across the street from my old place, so it was really easy for me to go to.

brent: Really? That must have been fun, sounds like a lot to do. I still can’t believe you chose to leave it all. This city’s beautiful.

charlie: It can be. If you ignore the giant rats, the leaky pipes that always wanna act up, the loud neighbors, and the people in raccoon costumes digging through your garbage.

brent: ....raccoon costumes?

charlie: You see a lot of things you never thought you would in this city.
