I’ve learned many skills in scouting besides the stereotypical knots and

“Boys will be boys‚” a commonplace phrase that constitutes a diffusion of responsibility away from the male perpetrators of aggressive attitudes and behaviors‚ supports a dangerous rhetoric that a young male transitioning into adulthood will perform acts of aggression‚ display a detached and uncaring disposition‚ and develop attitudes of intense homophobia and sexism as part of a biological norm of that stage of adolescence‚ a stage of life comprising a larger and larger part of young man’s life‚
