Parents, what do you think of this?

Agreed. Nowadays girls talk foul words as much as boys. They use all the emojis and acronyms verbally and icons on medias. At schools, they are as much aggressive as boys, or even more.

When my son was in grade 2, he was made fun of and bullied by a girl in his class, who was bigger than he was. He struck back, and the teacher disciplined him. When I talked to the teacher, she said my son should not hit the girl no matter what because she had some mental issue and was from a dysfunctional family. She said he could not use physical action to fight back the abusive words. I was shocked. I told my son to stay away from that girl. Luckily, he was doing okay through the school years. He was not a bully, but he was not being bullied after that incident.

At my workplace, I see many women are more aggressive than men.

About the messiness, nowadays lots of girls' rooms are very messy, clothes are everywhere, purses, shoes, makeup are all over the room. They cannot even find what they want when the need to look for those. I learned about these from my co-workers who complained about their daughters and sons.

Cleanliness and neatness don't come naturally. They are taught and shown by examples from parents. If parents are too busy working, and dead tired after work, and don't pay attention to teach their children, their children will be messy. That's natural.

l.

I had to do a double take as my son had the very same thing happen ...with the teacher siding with the "gee she's a girl..... " That teacher did teach us one thing...her allowing a girl to hit ... Wasn't good for anyone.

We took a different stance and got him into martial arts.

As a parent, my take is that I don't care. There's all kinds of crazy in the world, some you can live with and some you can't. Some is fun, some is self-destructive, and some will drag you down with it. You have to decide for yourself which kinds to avoid.

I'll teach my son to be a good man, take care of himself, do as little harm to women as possible, and own up to the consequences of his actions. If he brings home a crazy like this, one day, I'll assume he has his reasons, give my advice, and leave it at that.
