I agree that it's a bad take to say, "boys will be boys," and brush if off as that. They do need to be taught that is inappropriate, and they need to be taught at a young age.
But that is the same of all bad behavior, like telling them not to steal. This doesn't work, we don't live in a fantasy world, so it's good advice to know how to better protect yourself. Women that have to walk home alone at night shouldn't have to carry mace with them, but it's good advice to tell them to. But if I do tell them that, does that mean that I don't think they can defend themselves because they are women?
I see people in here getting upset about receiving good advice, and I see people in here not understanding what the issue is. I think this is yet another non-issue for some of you to just pass your time with because you have nothing else to do in life.
* The world is full of horrible people - protect yourself. * Teach everyone to be better people and hope for the best. * Stop passing off sexual harassment as, "That's what kids will do," and stop labeling them as sexual predators for having natural feelings. * Focus on individuals and not groups of people
