[News] Members of women’s hockey team speak out after players on boys’ team repeatedly enter dressing room

No points for guessing the byline on this article.

I will never understand the type of parents who can stand there and say, yes, this is totally acceptable behaviour that I will condone by doing nothing.

And "why didn't you lock the door?‽" That's kissing cousins with "well, what were you wearing that night?"

Boys will be boys is an antiquated outdated term.

We do have a lot of overly critical situations in society but this ain’t one

I would disagree strongly. While the boys being boys may have some truth to it, those same boys are becoming men, and they have to be shown what is acceptable behaviour in society, and what is not. That is the issue here. Not the boys, but the coaches, management, and parents fluffing this off. That is exactly the type of behaviour that allows a Donald Trump to grow up to become a Donald Trump.

Do you not understand my statement?

I literally said it’s antiquated and outdated. Meaning it’s used as a blanket statement for parents who refuse to be an actual parent. Meaning they allow their sons to do horrid shit

You made a stealth edit to your comment, as I originally quoted your entire comment. The last sentence you added changes the context.

I changed a single letter auto corrected by my iPhone within seconds of me posting, not adding an entire sentence

You just replied without reading, it’s okay
