Reply #19: I don't think that I found what you referenced, but I did read through the [View All]

groping thread and there were some 'different' types of comments in that one! Some reminded me of a documentary that I recently viewed on Free Speech TV, and I don't think that it's my responsibility to control a man's behavior. It's my job as the mother of 3 boys to teach them while they are growing up to LEARN TO CONTROL THEMSELVES in all aspects of their behavior. Jeeze. One of my neighbors asked me years ago why I RARELY even smacked any of my boys when they were younger (she has 2 daughters very close in age to my 2 oldest) and she would occassionally swat one of her girls on the behind when we were together. My response was, "I don't want to send the message to my sons that hitting someone is a way to control their behavior. They're male. Someday they will grow up and date, possibly marry, and they just may date and marry women, so they need to understand that hitting isn't the way to go." She thanked me for that and mentioned that she'd not really thought of that and she was glad that I did.

I've discussed no means no, drinking is no excuse and they have been appalled by the idea that getting a female drunk and having sex with her could ever be okay. To them it's just a sick thing to do.

I know that this is rather rambling, but I'm trying to set an example for my boys and I guess I just wonder at times how some males don't get the message.
