In the US I see people often punish boys just because they behave and act like boy. Like the other day, when I was taking a walk around the park. I see a group of young boys having a lot fun runing around, playing with their toy guns (that doesn't even look like a real gun) making guns noise and playing military games. Suddenly a young woman (probably a baby sitter) walking toward them, taking the toy guns away from the boys and said "you don't play with guns like that!, it's violent!", she then walk them home. I was shock and disappoint when I see this.
It seem like American when want boys to grow up and be "kind" and "sensitive". Now don't get me wrong, I have no problem with people want their kids to grow up and be kind and considerate people. The pronlem that I have is that, they don't let boys be boys and doing the things that boys like to do. Playing with toy guns and military games are being seen as an act of violent nowadays
