It is much deeper than that. Children take in everything. Does the father who works in a cut-throat profession that exploits people really a credible interlocutor in that conversation? That’s why rape culture is a good term- it includes a multitude of things that enable rape.

Yes. And their moms. I have 3 (grown) sons. I had THAT talk with each of them in their teens.

I’ve had several meaningful conversations with my sons (16 and 10) over the last few weeks, and not for the first time. Explaining consent & violence & trauma to my overprivileged white sons so they will be compassionate and responsible. I owe the world two quality white men

Acknowledging their privilege and stressing compassion and responsible action is a good foundation. As your sons encounter boy-men wielding power, they will need support and praise to achieve the manhood you aspire for them. It’s not easy out there for decent men, either.

I think there should be a “Not me” movement for men who have never nor will ever sexually harass or abuse a woman or child.

This idea that boys need to be spoken to of the need for human love and kindness but girls are A-ok is awful and bat shit crazy and turns off the vast majority of middle America; boys as criminals is not something we should b selling or buying into.

I beg every mother and father of every child to take them aside and tell them to treat all people with kindness and decency and not think Brett Kavanaugh represents all men.

#BrettKavanuagh was visibly angry while being questioned. This is the anger/aggression that some accusers have mentioned. Now couple that with lots of beer (which he admittedly likes) and what do you get? I don’t think he came across well. My opinion.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

And hopefully you also use Judge Kavanaugh’s response as an example if they are ever falsely accused. It is shame that a guy who shows respect to women would be crucified for doing so

And mother. My son has heard the consent message since birth. And he knows he better treat every person with respect or he answers to me

Much more effective than "telling" is *leading by example.* Take stock of the way you treat the women and girls in your life, and see if you need to up your game. R-E-S-P-E-C-T is a powerful lesson for us all.
