Boys are exposed to more violence than girls, and adults often see this violence taking place. When a group of boys are pushing and tackling each other until they fall down, or pile on to each other until someone starts crying, it often takes a long time for adults to do anything about it. What are we telling children when we let them carry on until someone starts crying? What would we do if it were a group of girls who were kicking each other? One important reason that boys are exposed to more violence committed by other boys and that we think of it as natural is related to ideas about “manliness.” Manliness entails being invincible and tough. Instead of the adults intervening, the behavior is explained as “boys being boys” or “they need to test their limits.”
