    See, this gives me sadness - women can always give girls encouragement; it's one of our things. For men to feel they can't be the same with boys is heartbreaking. OH GOD ALL THE SILENCE AND LONELINESS IN THE WORLDhttps://twitter.com/ollylambert/status/1052968485066813442 …

    A dad brings his 12 yr old son to the gym and ignores him while he lifts weights. The kid spends a miserable hour on his own doing star jumps etc then they leave. Kid looks so alone, & I always want to tell him his star jumps are GREAT, but know this would be seen as VERY WEIRD

        It is far from being hardship, but I do think it is sad that I cannot tell a woman how nice she looks or a child how clever they are or another man how proud he should be of some act of humanity without the world thinking I mean something other than merely kindness or decency.

        I’m a woman so I haven’t these issues &could care less about PC.I agree it’s an ugly world out there for men.I’m happy I have no son or grandson.I’ve an awesome daughter and granddaughter. There are decent people out there just use discernment but never give a hug. I’m a hugger☹️

        No hugging is way too sad. I'm a hugger, too. My only claim to fame has been my trademark expression "Hug at least one person every single day" and "Never miss an opportunity to dance in the rain." Now as an 81 y/o woman, it's tough having to let go the hug. So sad. 😢

        My granddaughter and I love dancing in the rain. She never misses a dang puddle she won’t jump into with her whole being. Come on let’s all dance in the rain. You brought up a great point. I really don’t need a umbrella either.pic.twitter.com/r5vR402b5t

        Story behind this: In about '53 or so, the "love" of my life & I were headed to a Rock-N-Roll concert 50 miles away in a downpour when a song came on the radio, we stopped,got out,danced in the pouring rain,got back into the car & went on our way soaking wet. How wonderful! 💃🕺

        Me too. We were actually innocent. Didn’t have the drugs and instant gratification. There are some awesome kids out there but they are unusual. I know kids with strong caring families. Belief in God is so important. It builds the base of moral values that is core.

        Difficult but doesn't have to be true. At Electric Picnic I was standing beside a young boy watching St. Vincent,was thinking how cool it must be for him experiencing this.Started chatting,he was so happy someone older cared what he thought.His parents gave me high 5s as I left.

        11 yo son said this very thing last night. “Girls are always saying ‘you look so pretty’ to each other on Instagram”. But for boys we’re like ‘your haircut looks like a tortoise shell’. Why can’t boys be more supportive of each other mum?” 🤔

        Few years ago I was reading to my daughter at a library. Boy with his mother in the same room, she was on her phone. Boy climbed into the chair with me & my daughter, I finished reading the book to them. Boy gave me another book to read. Mother noticed. The horror, the horror.

        I don't think telling him this is weird at all, and I think we have to start doing these things that people have mentioned otherwise nothing will change.

        I've two children and two stepchildren love all 4. But if I'm not with an adult female would be very wary of talking to a child of either sex for fear of being considered a danger. Don't even feel comfortable going in e.g. Hotel pool if other users are women and children.

        Jeez Caitlin a bit of a generalisation based on one anonymous, potentially untrue tweet...plenty of real life examples of how men behave to get sad about....although seeing Peter Jacksons They Shall Not Grow Old made me feel for my fellow men from the past..

        I apologise..but I stick by my point that you don't know what happens..maybe its praise and ice cream and fun and games on the way home and he loves it...but he has to focus while he is in the gym....
