Boys Will Be Boys: Why Must Girls Put Up With It for Life?
Original: Boys Will Be Boys. But Why Must Girls Put Up With It for Life?
A commentary argues that the phrase 'boys will be boys' excuses male misbehaviour from childhood onwards, leaving women to tolerate its consequences throughout their lives. The piece challenges the idea that unruly or disrespectful behaviour is innate to boys, and asks why girls and women are expected to absorb the cost instead of society holding boys to the same standards.
Why now: The article's critique of a familiar excuse for male behaviour taps into ongoing debate about gender double standards and parenting.
