Boys will be boys. When we unpack this comment, it perpetuates negative ideas about what we expect from our boys, particularly regarding aggression. It's a phrase commonly used as a 'get-out-of-jail-free' card for boys, men, and toxic masculinities. I submit that boys will be what we teach them to be. We need to challenge our assumptions around poisonous forms of masculinity by encouraging conversation, providing space for men to express emotion, refusing to accept minimum standards of behavior, and building positive masculinities. So, let's get into it. Wisdom with Charlie Perkins is available on Apple Podcast, Amazon Music, Amazon Alexa, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Google Podcast, and all major platforms.
