After Male Classmates Rated Their Appearances, These Teen Girls Sparked a Movement to Change the ‘Boys will be Boys’ Culture
After male classmates rated their appearances, these teen girls sparked a movement to change the ‘boys will be boys’ culture.

“This boys will be boys culture isn’t a culture that needs to exist anymore.”
When a group of high school girls found out their male classmates were circulating a list that gave them a numerical rating based on their appearance, they said they initially felt betrayed and flooded with insecurity.
But then they decided to do something about it, and in a remarkable show of unity and action, these young women demonstrated to their school and community that this behavior is no longer acceptable.
While it’s likely not the first time teenage boys have rated their female classmates, these female high school students at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in Maryland came of age during the explosive #MeToo movement that has upended the notion that “boys will be boys” forever.

Here's something weird, and a little bit off the point: I have heard that the CIA (or some government agency, can't remember who) looks at high school year books for the best looking kids and helps the aliens temporarily abduct them and use them for their DNA. (True of not I couldn't say, but I tend to believe it). Another weird point: I looked at a year book from a guy I used to know from Ohio. The kids in his year book looked like many of the kids in my year book! I was ASTOUNDED! (Yes, you may say that I'm strange, but what the hell do you think I'm doing on this site?)
I like it, it means that girls are self-confident and that her soul is evolving above the matriarch society. This is a very good initiative from them to bring to the light, and not feel discriminated by a bunch of stones age thinking boy. Of course, not all boy's, men are this kind, I am 67 and never been like this, probably from another planet.
