Children being socialized into bothering women?
I was out with my family and friends today, had a great day, went swimming with my 8 yo sister and ate good food. Bought smoothies. I drive them home and I'm grabbing zevia from my car to bring inside and these kids are snickering and whispering shit about me? (2 m 1 f) I assumed innocence and I just cleared my throat and all of a sudden these three kids are making fake throat-clearing noises at me? It's like dude I could break your necks. Why are you doing that? Why do kids spend their time making fun of women for just fucking existing? Where are they learning it from?
Another thing happened one day where I was on a bike trail at night and these two boys riding their bikes onto the trail (with flash lights and street lights present) screaming like they found a monster , I was literally like "shut the fuck up" because I was just having a nice moment? Outside?
Do you think kids learn to treat women like trash from an early age? Especially with cartoons depicting us a certain way and parents, media, music etc. I will literally be minding my own business and 10 year old boys will be like "she's hot" and "no she's ugly because she has glasses" like its preschool. Bickering about my perceived value in front of my face?
It's fucking weird and it's another reason why I don't have hope for male children In the future. Like what the fuck is that? You think you can objectify me? Sir you're a fetus. Like the objectification is insane, I get the same anger where I literally want to break their necks because I know they're not going to change and their parents are probably teaching them some shit that ain't good for this damn planet.
I talked to my mom about it and she's like "haha why are you hung up about some kids?" It's like why are kids developing the audacity to harass random people? Why are some kids normal and respectful and others pretend it's mean girls 2 and are trying to Bully me outside of my truck? In front of my zevia? Lmao let a woman live. They act like those men that can't shut the fuck up any time they see an attractive woman, like piss off. I described it to my mother as "being catcalled by children" to put it into perspective. It's like once you look like a younger woman kids think it's free real estate. Like piss off lol go play pubg and get an ear infection from the bathtub or something idfk.
I think people in general are going out of their way to be either rude or patronizing towards women who look much younger than their age. Same with children if you look very young they act like you are their equal and they can disrespect you like they would disrespect their friends. Even in public transport some kids even want to throw something at me I've warned a few times if they throw something against my head then prepare to get slapped hard, if it hurts you'll get slapped for the second time if my coat get smuged you know the drill. I don't care if it's "Child abuse" I'm nobodies doormat or punching bag.
I even had an older dude ask If I'm not supposed to be at school and I said mind your own business without explaining myself that I'm an adult.
Polite, well-raised kids that are still innocent like kids are supposed to be are so rare these days, it's sad. I don't know why, maybe it's their parents looking at their phones more than looking at their kids but I have a feeling it's gotten worse in the last decade or so. Especially when it comes to little boys. One factor is certainly the constant availability of porn and violence through the internet. I feel sorry for them and am afraid what society is going to be like when these generations makes up most of the adults.
I was at an event for families with my godchildren recently and there was this family with a little boy (maybe 3-4 years old) at the next table and the dad was seriously teaching the boy to slap the butts of the girls and women in the family and say "Hey, chica" while the mom and rest of the family laughed like it's the most hilarious thing in the world. The kid doesn't know what he's doing but I already fear what he will be like at 10 or as a teenager when they teach him shit like this is funny at 3. And you can be sure his friends in kindergarden will start copying that in a heartbeat. What fun for their families to get them to stop doing that again.
There are a few boys in my neighborhood I would consider polite and well-raised (at least for now) because they are always very helpful and seem to be doing pretty well when I see them play. But even that isn't a guarantee what they are going to be like as teenagers.
Regarding the "bothering women" part. I think there is one exception to that: when the kid needs help. I would absolutely teach my child that if they can't find a police officer or person in uniform when they need help they should ask a woman, ideally a woman with kids, for help. Because let's face it: a woman - ANY woman - is way more likely to help and way less likely to take advantage of the situation or hurt them than a male stranger.
The lack of respect is just astonishing, I have more stories but I'd rather play video games instead of being on a mind loop of anger. Food for thought though, why am I not respectable enough for you to fuck off? Do I need a beard and a cigarette for you to leave me alone? These lil bitches make young girls want to transition I swear. I am too old to go back to the misogyny I dealt with as a child, I will start swearing at them
I feel you. I had a bad experience working with middle-schoolers when I was younger. The kids just wouldn't stop being annoying and disrespectful to me. My friend works with teens too and I remember him giving me tips like "don't be overly friendly, always look serious, never talk about anything personal...". And of course I was already doing all of that so I was so confused.
I think in this case they respected him because he's a 30 year-old, 6'5 ft tall man and they looked up to him.
A lot of those boys learn it directly from their dads (or other father figures). When I see boys misbehaving like that, I'm mad at the boys, but I'm equally mad at their dads for modelling bad behavior. Fuck these degenerate, anti-social moids who have no right to be influencing children.
People are so bothered by me not smiling + being young and pretty , I don't understand, go exist as an individual. Im a person and this isn't IMVU, suck my ass and let me live my life
I was in the back seat of my friend's car once. We were coming home from lunch - my friend was driving and his wife was sitting in the passenger seat and their son and daughter were in the back with me. The son was about 10 years old and he asked his parents a question and both of them sort of gave their answers and he responded that he preferred his dad's answer and then went on, apropros of nothing really, to explain that Dad was the boss and maybe then it was him and then his mum and sister. He knew. Boys know that they are in line to inherit the world and women are 2nd-class citizens. His mum was very hurt by this random 'explanation' of things, and his dad tried to say something to put him straight (and failed) and I never looked at this child the same way again.
I was in a Target parking lot, and a teenage boy stuck his head out a car window, called me a bitch and yelled that he'd "tie me down and rape me" because instead of moving out of the way when his friend honked at me and yelled for me to move (I was standing next to his car, he had plenty of room), I stood there and stared at him.
I immediately went out and bought a knife, and started the process of getting a gun license. I also don't shop in store anymore, and just have items shipped to my house.
I swear, this world needs a cleansing fire.
First: it has nothing to do with you. It's them.
Second: sometimes the parents are to blame, but not always. The kid could have great parents, but socialization comes from other kids.
Think about it: kids are in school 40+ hours a week. They learn to be stupid from other kids (who may have bad parents). Parents can undo some of the bad conditioning, but can't eradicate all of it.
The only way to NOT raise little misogynists, is to remove your kids from the entire world, live in a forest, and make sure no misogynist people, media, books, toys, religion or ideas are around. It's not possible.
Hatred of women is the air we breathe. And it sucks.
It's the same energy as men not respecting someones time and emotions and just saying irrelevant shit when the woman's clearly busy or just having a normal day, like this old man that would make fake laughing noises EVERY DAMN DAY just to see me smile, it didn't work because it's fucking weird, but also stop existing so annoyingly and let a woman live. These kids remind me of those men.
Narcissism. Narcissistic kids want to mock/bully others to feel good about themselves. They are scared of men because they are physically stronger than them. So they pick women.
