That particular attitude towards males has always irked me. I have a former brother-in-law who has two girls and he just couldn't understand why my youngest son was so "undisciplined" and didn't behave like his girls. As the quote itself states, young boys need proper upbringing and that is done through positive parenting. I just dislike the basic premise that if you are unfortunate enough to have been born a male, than you are by default a bad-person that needs to be corrected and socially uplifted.In my experience, boys tend to start out very aggressive and it just gets worse if we as parents don't put a stop it. The sooner it is stopped, the more likely the boy will grow up to be a responsible citizen. A huge part of parenting a boy child is civilizing him.
Makes me just wanna smack someone upside the head.
