I still remember the powerful mental shift that question gave me when I first heard it a few years ago. The sad thing is that the somewhat abrubt, surprised and startled response we have to the question "why doesn't he stop and why does he think it's okay?" in and of itself gives us our answer; because we accept the premise that "boys will be boys". We tolerate, if not instill and encourage mysogenistic behavior in our young men AND our young women. Help spread the word!
