You're not teaching girls & boys that all men (ppl) are bad. You're teaching them that NO ONE has the right to touch them without their permission!

Can I hug my young daughter? Or do I need an organization's permission? Sounds really weird to me.
-
If your daughter doesn’t want you to hug her, don’t hug her. Would you really one to force a hug on your daughter?

It needs to be said! Girls should not be forced to hug ANYONE!
-
Children* not just girls. My son has just as much right to say no to a hug as my daughter.
-
Yes you’re correct CHILDREN*

From the same organization that pimps them by having them selling “cookies” on the corner! Smh but yea don’t hug your grandpa at Thanksgiving because we all need them to tell us how to protect our children.
-
Girl Scout "cookies" are actually cookies and it's all voluntary. On the other hand, hugging a drunk uncle with creepy hands isn't. If a child doesn't want to hug someone, you should listen. They probably know something that you don't. It's not that difficult.
-
What parent is MAKING a child hug a drunk uncle? Did you need the Girl Scouts to tell you this?
-
Millions of little girls and boys get molested/taken advantage of/sold into the sex trade every year so yeah, apparently it needs to be said. Why tf would someone have an issue with a good statement Jesus Christ
-
It shouldn’t be put in people’s minds that everyone is a pervert
-
But what needs to be put into girls minds is it is her body, and her choice.
-
Boys need to be taught that as well.

I recently told my very nice neighbors that I don’t want their adorable little boy to feel any obligation to hug me. Unsolicited hugs are the only ones worth getting. Children need to feel in charge of their own bodies.
-
And adults should trust their kids feelings, if they don't want to hug someone, trust them!

I’ve taught my children that if they don’t feel comfortable hugging or kissing anyone they don’t have to. Remember our gut feeling is the first sign to let us know something isn’t right
-
Yes. Or if they just don’t want to, they don’t have to. Never too young to be shown by example that their bodies belong to them.

Another reason I abhor corporal punishment. Can't think of a stronger message that someone more powerful has the right to inflict pain & violate your boundaries & that this is moral
