The list comes from a workshop held in 2012 as part of the White Ribbon Campaign -- a worldwide movement of men and boys seeking "to end violence against women and girls, promote gender equity, healthy relationships and a new vision of masculinity."

In this workshop, White Ribbon's community engagement manager Jeff Perera gathered a group of 50 fourth grade boys and asked them "what do you like or dislike about being a boy?" The participants complained that boys are "not allowed to be a cheerleader," supposed to "like violence" and "play football," and not supposed "to cry."'

Not unexpectedly...what they liked about being boys was omitted from the report. Even though that was part of the question.

This is the misandry filter at work: If it"s male negative it gets get reported.

If it's male positive it gets screened out.

If males and females have similar negative qualities -- only those of the males are reported.

If any other subgroup of humans had been targeted like this, it would be seen as obvious bigotry, as hate, or just plain bullying.

How terrible. The parents/teachers who allow this kind of actions should be apprehended by CFS for Emotional Child Abuse.

This is why the "feminist false flag" White Ribbon Campaign need to be stopped.
