Playground insults against females banned, boys ok

Anonymous User writes "From This is London, Teachers are warned today that words such as "slag" and "slut" lead to boys feeling superior to girls and make domestic violence seem more acceptable. Boys should be challenged if they are heard directing such terms at girls. It is considered equally unacceptable for girls to aim such insults at one another. Teachers' leaders said such language is common in secondary schools and even among older children at primaries. Not surprisingly, there's no mention if what happens if a girl insults a guy for being a pervert, a horndog or a lech. I seriously doubt such behavior will be banned as well by the new rules."
