Lloyd sent me a clipping of a thought-provoking op-ed: What Does 'Boys Will Be Boys' Really Mean?

Further to Mary's story about being pressured to have breast reduction surgery: according to the SMH, "Australian women's breasts are getting bigger, a new study has found."

wow - thank you for posting the 'boys will be boys' article. it does a beautiful job of expressing a lot of what absolutely terrifies me about our culture if i should ever have a son.

and i think the only phrase i hate more than 'boys will be boys' is 'big boys don't cry'...but that's a whole different soapbox for a whole different day.
