Nurture Equality: The Long Game of Parenting
Parents play a crucial role in shaping boys' perspectives on gender equality and sexuality. It is important to challenge and critique the 'macho bro culture' that often influences boys' behavior and language about girls. Engaging in open conversations about inappropriate talk and attitudes towards girls promotes respectful attitudes. By consistently addressing and correcting demeaning language and viewpoints, parents can help boys understand the importance of treating everyone with respect. This long-term strategy aims not only to create better relationships in the present but ultimately to foster a future generation that values equality and mutual respect.
