Do we need to change the way we raise boys? I need 4 arguments to support my viewpoint.

The short
answer is yes. Obviously, there is a major problem with sex discrimination and differences in
the world today, and there are some clear indications of this.

First, men are
more frequently the perpetrators of sexual abuse and violence. The only way to properly rid
society of these perils is to raise boys to be more respectful and caring individuals and to
show respect and protection to women instead of seeing them as objects or to be taken advantage
of.

Second, men who experience anxiety and depression frequently go
unreported or without diagnosis, and this leads to high rates of suicide or drug abuse among
men. This is a perilous situation that is tamped down because of society's expectations of men
being strong and not showing weakness.

Third, there is a simple lack of
equality in the world today. Regardless of who is in leadership or who earns more money, men and
women are simply not treated equally. It is vital to teach boys to be respectful and show equity
to girls so that they grow up into a more equitable society.

Finally, men
typically respond more violently to bad situations, leading to violent acts of crime. Boys
should be raised to avoid physical violence and to share their emotions in a healthy
manner.
