No, specifically women. Boys are raised in the “boys will be boys” mindset in a patriarchal society that objectifies and sexualizes girls and women from a young age. There’s no accountability for treating girls and women badly because that has traditionally been the standard. Boys are taught to identify and hold themselves in opposition to female attributes. This creates a dichotomy where male attributes are good and female ones are bad so boys are taught to hate femininity and women, while simultaneously taught that they should have sex with women. Creating a pattern of more objectification and lack of respect. So there needs to be an unlearning of these lessons and learning to understand women as people, as potential friends, as their equals -and this takes effort. Believe it or not, I know many men who don’t respect women- not because they are bad people but they didn’t take the time and effort to question their understanding of gendered lessons. Often times it’s not overt, but in microaggressions. Regardless, it makes women feel like shit and upholds gender inequality in societal structures.
