This blog is certainly not about pity. And I don't lecture boys on their use of language either - I open up a dialogue. And yes, I would do exactly the same with any girls using pejorative language towards boys. <br /><br />I think you've misunderstood a great deal in this post. I make no apologies for being unashamdely bias towards women's issues - I state this clearly in my overview. A focus on women does not mean a hatred for or ignorance towards men. In fact, in many of my posts, I am very supportive of men.Kate Treacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00595119191804587479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734987400387067585.post-40336671726027876272011-02-08T02:23:17.022-08:002011-02-08T02:23:17.022-08:00Maybe one day your skull will break through the br...Maybe one day your skull will break through the brick wall and some little mouthy 12 year old will become a slightly better and more respectful future partner because of you.
