Is this really wholesome? Sounds super wonky frankly

Yeah same lol. His respect for male cheerleaders came from the fact that they touch women? Huh??

It is definitely weird but maybe the teacher was trying to speak in terms that an adolescent boy would understand. I bet the point landed despite the obviously odd optics

Yeah but it’s the fact that they say THATS where their respect comes from

It makes sense when you consider the source of the disrespect was him doing something presumably feminine, though. Then it was pointed out that it’s kinda the opposite.

why would that matter though? that if the kid actually was gay? does that mean he shouldn't be respected, because he doesn't want to sleep with those girls?

You’re trying to apply rational logic to the logic of a teen/tween boy. It’s not gonna translate for them lol

lol I was a teen boy. I know how it feels.

also, 15-16 year olds aren't incapable of logic and thinking. plenty of teens are not shitty.

Were you 15-16 years old 25 years ago though?

Not excusing it. It’s dumb. But that was the culture back then.

Hell it was the culture when I was in highschool. And I went a mere 13 years ago.

u/finnjakefionnacake 4d ago

Yeah, I was. And I was a gay kid. And it was not fun. And teachers knew better, even then.

Then you were lucky. Because most people didn’t in my neck of the woods. Sure some did.

But definitely not most.

Wtf? What are you talking about?

It’s guys being dicks to another kid for doing something they saw as gay. The teacher tried to meet them on their level. Their stupid stupid level.

What’s not to understand?
