I get what you are saying too. But this isn't some movement or big protest where I send my child out in the streets to fight men. This is to combat the every day misogyny my oldest one is about to come to face during the Trump presidency as she begins to come of age. She's going to run into boys that think she's an object. She's allowed in my eyes to sock these kids and nip that shit at the bud before it continues. Thats my stance on it. She's not putting a bandana around her face. I've done this myself when I was in school and I was a tiny 90 pound nerd. Every bully I socked for my friends stopped right there. They'll be fine.
I'm saying the game has changed. This isn't an era any of us have experienced with childhood bullying.
I'm not saying your kid doesn't deserve to stand up for themselves.
