...no man/boy was born with the tendency to disrespect women...disrespect toward women is one of the many consequences of what we teach children; of our social conditioning... the majority of the consequences of our teachings, however, are deeply hidden, under the iceberg...the suffering goes on until one day, society is fed up with it and the sickness comes out in the open, just like sexual misconduct that has been going on since the end of the hunter and gatherer societies...humanity appears to have had enough of sexual misconduct; maybe...but as long as the true source of the problem--social conditioning--is not addressed, there is little hope for true change...
..."boys" are not born with the notion to disrespect females; gender itself is a social construct...parents, teachers, society; all are involved in social conditioning of our children... we condition boys to have an unhealthy relationship with themselves, with others, with sexuality and the long list goes on... we condition women in similar ways...funny, that we act so surprised when "men" "leash" out even though we as a society are the ones who conditioned them in the first place...but then it is always easier to point a finger at "the others" to make yourself feel good than to question the very construct your society is built on...
