It is over 20 years since my son was a teenager and while I did not have the conversation in the way it was discussed in this article, DS was most explicitly clearly taught to respect women. It was something that came up in many conversations I had with him.
But he had grown up in a family where everybody was treated with respect and demeaning remarks about other people or groups of people were not part of family discourse. His group of friends came from families with the same values as ours.
I think it is much more difficult now. I was discussing with DS and DiL this weekend the problems of teaching their two children, GS, aged 3 and GD, aged 6 proper respect and values in a world where it is almost impossible to protect them from online pornography. However careful you are at home, you have no control on what they see on other people's computers/mobile phones and tablets.
How do you acknowledge Easter.
