I apologize to those who prefer not to read more on this subject. My friends will forgive me.
Melania Trump calls her husband's infamous "banter on the bus" as merely "boy talk." To suggest there is such a thing as "boy talk" and that it is okay, is a message her 10-year-old son will hear. He will conclude that it is ok, and the cycle of abuse will stand a good chance of being transferred to the next generation. That apparently is a price she is willing to pay.
So, to 10-year-old boys everywhere:
This is a lie. This is not ok. This is not who you are. No one who has respect for other human beings will talk this way. Decency has no place for this kind of talk, whether you are male or female. People are not objects to conquer. You have a higher calling, and it's called civility. Learn civility and you will not only find that you are happier; you will contribute to the well-being of others. The payoff is a better world. And that is a price worth paying.
