“You’re very smart, and you’re very suspicious. I admire both of those traits. Especially in women.

But if you think I’d orchestrate the deaths of seventeen men just to trick you into my service…

…Then you’re not only suspicious, my dear…

…You’re paranoid.”

The Problem with 'Boys Will Be Boys'

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:35:41 -0500

The Problem with 'Boys Will Be Boys':

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.

Sorry for the late post. I’ve been afflicted with my first ever convention virus which has been messing up my schedule. There will be a second strip this week, but most likely on Friday. Thanks for being patient, guys!

Kaldur’ahm aka Aqualad has been shown to possess the ability to breathe under water as well as enhanced strength. He can adapt his eyes to see in the darkest of ocean bottoms. He features gill slits on the sides of his neck allowing him to extract oxygen from the water.He also appears to demonstrate hydrokinesis, the ability to increase the local specific density of water and then manipulate its shape. He wields a pair of “Water Bearers”, weapons which allow him to focus that power, creating shapes and weapons with the water.In addition, he is able to discharge powerful bolts of electricity from his fingertips in a manner similar to that of an Electric eel.

Blather:

Agrill is the 76th Arachne prince and was born to one of the consorts not the Queen, so he’s pretty much worthless to the royal family. The only reason he even lives in the Palace is because he looks like his mother, now deceased, so his father can’t bear to part with him due to his sentimentality towards his mother.

His family is desperately trying to marry him off to a noble girl in order to at least strengthen some ties thru his marriage since he can’t contribute much else.However he’s not really considered good marriage material either since the “worth” of male Arachne comes from their carapace (the dark parts, the exoskeleton) and his only covers bits of his torso and back so he’s looked at as being really weak and sickly and too human.

Annnnd I will never draw the comic he’s from so…

THE END.
