So a while ago, a friend of mine (let's call her SugarTits - coz she's sweet and has a great rack) posted a picture of her goddaughter and the goddaughter's boyfriend. They're both in high school and it was a very sweet and innocent picture.
Unfortunately, some of the boyfriend's friends chose to make some stupid remarks about rape on the picture posted on SugarTits' FB wall(which is fodder for another blog on another day). SugarTits and friends (myself included) called these boys out, and thankfully goddaughter came out with a scathingly beautiful comment about the appropriateness and maturity of those comments.
What was sad though, was the boyfriend's reaction to those comments. He was very wishy-washy, "hahahhahaha, stop you guys, hahahahahah that's enough, oh you!". The moment that it came about that his friends were in trouble and we were taking them to task for those stupid comments, he came out with a far more aggressive response in defense of his friends.
Friends who made jokes about rape and his girlfriend. Let's just remember that. His reaction to his friends was ridiculous. When his friends got called on their behaviour though, he became their knight in shining blackberry.
Which led me to think, was this a case of Bros before Hos? Where does the line get drawn? Is it ok if your friends say "no brakes on the rape train" about your girlfriend, just because they're your friends? What if they said that about your sister? Your cousin? Your aunt? Your mother?
I find it a little sad that parents and schools are raising boys to think that "boys will be boys" and "bros before hos" will cover any and all situations. Boys will be men, they deserve to be raised as such. It's insulting to raise them to behave in any other manner.
