I remember in kindergarten me and some of the other girls knew there was a swallow nest with fertile eggs in it up a tree in the garden and we would guard it daily. One day one of the boys shoved past us and climbed the tree. He brought down one of the eggs and peeled it in front of us (they had chicks inside) and laughed hysterically. I couldn't fathom that he had only done it to horrify us.

@KikiRockwell beyond a level of suffering and powerlessness there's a point where one feels so inexistent that one's perception of the quality of attention received is like colour for colour blinds...getting attention seems to be all that matters.
Not sure what it takes to bring colour back in one's perception, the only sure thing is that more damage and more pain makes it even more gray.
Interaction's a damn trickster, it sucks too often.

@jessestrobel2 the first time someone relises the world isn't safe is very important in emotnal development thes things stick with us to the point alot of people even with dementia remember them longer than there famlys. It scars the mind in a way. "Only 6" is some of the most important mental and emotional development.

@lynxwestbrook6848 This is entirely irrelevant to anything. Kids do irrational things that shouldn't be held against them; I guarantee you that all young boys and girls have done things uncharacteristic of their later values and for you to place so much significance on these actions so early on conveys a deep incompetence of yours.

@KikiRockwell it was an egg, first and foremost. Almost akin to an abortion - you guys feel a certain way about those

@KikiRockwell your outrage here is totally manufactured / convenient by design for feminists. You wish for men to be crippled by regret and self hatred for innocuous mistakes/actions in their childhoods. Meanwhile your sex engages consciously in hedonism, manipulation, the whole nine yards. You're a part of an ideological cult wishing to usher in female supremacy and masculine self destruction (because why not let them do the work themselves). Disgusting.

@KikiRockwell What, a "terrible" "toxic masculinity" type? You embody the most wretched traits of femininity, in that you're petty, illogical and self-centered

I love seeing my 2 favorite artists supporting each other, but what a horrible story... It's weird how this seems to be a theme... I love that one of the best things that caught my attention for my husband was his softness for anything living. He was always saving animals and birds at his work.

@jessestrobel2 this can be true to a point.. my dad told me he killed a rabbit as a child and he feels so bad till this day.... But I also see it differently because I have taught my kids to cherish every living thing and I can see the difference in my son and other little boys.... I think childhood trauma can be a reason some kids have this ability to be so cruel at such a young age... and my dad had a lot! I pride that my son can bring animals to him while other boys focus on chasing them for their own pleasure.. my son is not normal to the other boys and I can see that... and he feels it.

@amberhoward7807 your son is and I quote "not normal to the other boys" - you have a resentment of males so extreme it extends to simple boys. You're mentally ill, your husband has a lot to fix.

@jessestrobel2 AHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually I suffer from depression and anxiety because of how my father raised me... Never EVER expect to know anyone's story... Because believe me you'd feel sick if you ever heard what I went through... My values are based off what I didn't want to become... I chose to not be my mother or my father because I chose to never want my kids to experience anything that they put me through.. And this is us women crying out to you type of a holes who just refuse to get it...

As a mom with three young boys this song makes me sad because this kind of behavior is very real and very learned behavior. Because my boys are taught that nature is sacred and we don't hurt things smaller than us and don't let bigger things than us hurt us.

Right? I’ve never witnessed such behaviour personally…
Not from any family members, not from kids at school…
It’s isn’t "boys being boys" it’s kids not being taught the value of life and that being stronger is what counts… that violence is the key to everything in life…
And sadly some parents truly think that especially boys are supposed to be rough, uncaring and destructive…
When their nature literally is not that. They can be just as caring.

@lifeoutnumbered Your job is instilling positive values in your children. As is every other parent's - you wouldn't disown your male child if they killed a butterfly, would you? That would be preposterous. Yes, killing symbolic insects isn't right but a little boy isn't commiting evil when they do. You have to realize that in the developing mind, not every decision is completely rational. So for a grown woman like Paris to not understand that aiming a propogated piece like this at male youth, to ploy for the condemnation of not yet grown or even teenaged males' actions is in poor taste - and for you to not detect it either - is indicative of incompetence. I think she is aware of her affect, and does it consciously out of radical and unchallenged misandry.

@jessestrobel2 I wouldn't disown my child but I would think ver yhard about who I was raising that they would do that. It would also depend on the circumstances. Has the child been taught that cruelty is wrong? Do they understand that they are causing pain to something that has feelings? Are they laughing and enjoying it? Because that is definitely not "typical" or "boys will be boys". Little kids can still be taught to value life and have empathy even if the lessons are simpler than that for adults. You are taking a song about how society shrugs it shoulders at boys being cruel and dismisses it as harmless when it is anything but, and basically saying "when they are young it doesn't matter!" (it definitely does) and accusing the singer of misandry without any actual points to back it up.
