Mate, I had an issue with the hi-so quasi-religious school my son attends regarding bullying. A while back bullying was systemic and the school sent a letter out advising any kids caught bullying or fighting will be suspended, including kids retaliating. The school was advocating kids to ignore taunts and violence and report it to a teacher. That's all well and good however the boy gets more alienated and picked on.
I thought the philosophy encouraged kids to be submissive and cowardly and certainly does not prepare them for the harsh reality of the dog eat dog world when they leave school to make their mark. I taught my boy to fight instead and not to get up of the kid until dragged off. This happened, I got call into the school, however councillor quietly agreed with me and nothing happened. My boy has not been bullied since.
Is it normal that I believe men are being portrayed as morons?
