I see your position, but to me I see a potential loss in not exposing my kids to what they might encounter in the real world, sort of a tough love approach. If a girl never experiences teasing comments from males, she will surely remember it the first time she comes up against it. If she has learned to blow it off, it probably won’t even be a memory by the next week.
While I understand and appreciate the necessity of not sheltering children (and it is a major obstacle in my own situation), are you suggesting that modeling bad behavior is a good idea?
If so, why not model good behavior while at the same time informing your children about bad behavior and how to deal with it?
Of course, male sexual teasing is not necessarily bad behavior, it depends on the circumstance and in some cases may be welcomed by the woman.
