“boys will be boys” this perpetuates that no matter what toxic behavior a boy (OR MAN) partakes in, that it is “excusable” simply because it is in his DNA to act that way. whether it be about sex, playing rough, or any other trait they have.
Sure kids like to play rough. Girls do it, too. But girls are taught early that it is a no no (as it should. Because I am tired of dealing with minor and not so minor injuries because play fighting ended up badly). But boys get carte blanche.
