Telling boys to protect women? Boys are children too last time I checked who need protection and some boys are significantly weaker than all other boys and girls they know because of conditions like human growth hormone deficiency that I had as a kid. Women should be defending their sons not the other way around. A parent's life will always be less important than the life of their child so a real woman would sacrifice her life for her own children just as a real man would. That's pretty strange that you are asking boys as young as 3 to defend grown women who are fully capable of defending themselves. Not all men are physically stronger than all women. Not all boys are stronger than all girls. Up until high school I was shorter, weaker, and smaller than virtually every girl in my class so who was there to defend me? Who is there to protect disabled men and boys as well as elderly men or any men who are not physically strong enough to defend themselves for whatever reason? How about women and girls learn to defend themselves? There is far more violence against men and boys yet these people want to completely ignore it because they support male disposability. They think that simply because you happen to be born male means that your life is less valuable than that of a female and that your assigned gender role is to be a human bodybag and mincemeat to "protect women" and girls" while hypocritically advocating for the abolition of traditional gender roles for women and girls but not men and boys. They believe that the life of a newborn infant male or a young man just starting out his life is less important than that of an elderly woman who has already lives out her life. So much for gender equality. #DoubleStandards #AgainstMaleDisposability #MenandBoysAreNotHumanShields #MenandBoysCanBeVictimsToo #StopViolenceAgainstMenandBoys #MostVictimsofViolenceAreMale #Malelivesmatter

Don't put to much stock in the reading by third grade.I was not reading up to grade in the third year. I still have the report card to prove it. But by seventh grade I was reading and understanding on a college level. The only thing I had to read in the summer if I wanted to read was the encyclopedia world book. Have books in the house above what your child can read have parents that read. Make sure your child can read, and let them go at there own pace.
