When your daughter is the one whoâs lying barely conscious on the front yard of some frat house, my sons will be the ones who will know enough to charge in, swinging sticks to chase the brutes away. Theyâll know because we let them have sticks, we let them find out what sticks can do, and we told them what sticks are for.
Violence doesnât take over when boys are allowed to have sticks. Violence takes over when no one tells boys what sticks are for.1
