We have, repeatedly. The secretaries, me, the school owners. She gets so loud she is traumatizing our students too, listening to that stuff... plus, it is a stream of expletives. The police and child services came over, nothing happened. Then I asked a student whose dad is a sargeant at the local station to send…

Jan:

You could also try clicking on the link from the article (the one you also linked in your reply) to see what the part about being disproportionately arrested was about.

Oh, I’m so sorry that no one mentioned the plight of the 16-year-old boy who threw his book once in an article about something else. Our mistake, as per usual! Silly women.

My mom used to do that all the time. She also accused me of fucking every male I was ever in contact with, say because of assigned schoolwork, from the time I got my period at 11. She thought that was some magic switch that had turned on me and I started having sex with everyone.

My sister spent three years and a lot of money having her record expunged of a domestice violence conviction stemming from a fight she had with our mother when she was 17. Somehow she was the one arrested and convicted even though my mother admitted being the aggressor and my sister still has the scar from my mother…

I hope you are now separated or divorced because that is an extremely unhealthy relationship.

Wow, that sounds like a really healthy marriage between two super well-adjusted and mature adults. Why are you still with him?

I feel like for many parents (good parents - the mom in this story doesn’t seem like mother of the year) it’s a hard decision to make but sometimes necessary. My friend has a daughter who has a learning disability and some emotional issues, and is cognitively about 9 years old, but physically is 16 and is adult-sized…

This doesn’t make sense. So girls are what, 51% of the population? But the laws and practices “diproportionatelly” affect them? I mean on its face the statement is true, but if the meaning is that girls are being unfairly targeted, then the numbers do not back that up. Unless we are saying that like 50% of all…

I will be 42 this year, and I am still resentful of the double standard and favoritism showed to my brother simply because he is a boy.

Where I live, they actually give the police little cards to hand to parents who threaten their kids with arrest or something like that in public. It’s so pervasive that they actually need a program to address it. They’re told to hand the cards out silently, but they basically just point out that all that does it make…

This was an everyday technique in my house growing up. My mom and dad used to pretend to call the cops to take me away because I was “being bad.”

In the case of a psychotic incident call an ambulance or fire department. Cops kill people during psychotic incidents regularly.

Comparing your tattoos to the structural racial inequalities that Black women and girls face.

Not comparable in any way shape or form, but i see what you’re trying to say

sounds like a real winner that husband of yours. I sapose you have your reasons but why havent you devorced him yet?

Meanwhile, adults tend to impose more rules on daughters than sons, leading to greater conflict. “Girls are the ones who have curfews, who are yelled at for going out,” said Chesney-Lind. “There’s a double standard.”

I hope that he is now your ex husband?

I see our education system has failed you since you can’t distinguish between throwing something at someone in class and throwing a Barbie doll at a relative in your own home.
