Response to trend seems a bit sexist

There’s been a lot of talk about sexting. I have noticed the finger-pointing is at girls. I want to know why it is acceptable for boys to text pictures of their “stuff” but not girls. I think it is wrong no matter what sex you are. Boys should be prosecuted for the distribution of “kiddy porn” also.

I cannot believe that today’s way of thinking is still so backward. The term “boys will be boys” should be abolished. No wonder boys still believe it’s OK to disrespect girls, and girls cannot demand respect of their bodies. If we can get boys to respect girls instead of use them, we will not have to worry so much about domestic violence or even prostitution.
