Boys Will Be Boys
They always say, "boys will be boys," and leave it at that.
No one will try to fix the situation because boys will be boys.
They let him be stupid, abusive, and sexual because boys will be boys.
And I can't fix that.
I can't fix that because I'm a girl and we should learn to accept that boys will be boys.
We should learn that when they do stuff like that it's because boys will be boys.
We learn that no one cares because boys will be boys.
We learn to keep our problems to ourselves because boys will be boys.
We learn that it is okay to be verbally, physically, and sexually abused by a guy because boys will be boys.
So, what's the point in trying when you know you are going to fail over and over again?
What's the point if we are the ones getting lessons on how to act when they are the ones who need them?
What's the point in teaching us how not to get raped if boys will be boys and do what they feel like anyways?
This should not be about what we wear of how we act or if we said no, this should be about how boys will be boys.
They are the ones who need to be taught that just because boys will be boys that doesn't mean that girls will be toys.
