This Space is for Offworld Lambs

figured this one could use an update, so here it is in all its full colour glory

Nothing. You *make* her a Miltank* cross stitch card, then watch her lose her shit (in a good way) when she opens the envelope and sees it for the first time.

*Miltank is her favourite.

I think there's an incredible correlation between insulating cis boys from the consequences of their actions and the prevalence of violent crime.

I think we teach cis boys from a young age that violence will be tolerated from them as long as they perform masculinity to society's standards.

That second part is the salient factor here. Because we also teach them that violence will not be tolerated from them if they defy society's standards of masculinity, even if it's self defense. If they're picked on for defying those standards, it's the violence against them that's validated.

I think cis boys who are performing masculinity to society's standards get in no real trouble for snapping their classmates' bra straps or pulling their hair or whatever else gets written off as "he likes you" & it sets them up for a life of violence.
