Two colleagues have shared this. I wanted to write man murders someone while robbing a bank. Of course it was his mother’s fault for not telling him off for stealing a bike when be was a teen. Of course a bank robbing murdering man is not responsible for his own actions. Must be a woman’s fault. Maybe his girlfriend asked for money for food, too. But I can’t. Because theyre colleagues. Who I’m about to block...
But then I thought maybe I’m over reacting.
But this just seems like reinforcing the belief that it is always a women's fault, disguised as parenting advice.
Added below:
A prison inmate on a death row was asked his last wish before he could be electrocuted in the electric chair, he asked for a pen and paper then wrote;
Dear mum, If the law was fair today you would be here seated next to me waiting to be electrocuted in the electric chair, but since the law is blind I have been convicted for the crimes we committed together. Mum remember how it started, do you remember when I was 3 years old when I stole my brothers sweets? you didn't correct me, remember very well when I was five the day I stole my neibours toys and hid it at home you said nothing, mum remember when I was 12 when I hid my cousin's ball in the garage when he had come to play with us at home and you said that you did see it yet you saw it. Do you remember the day I was expelled from school at 15 years? Dad wanted to purnish me but you refused and that very day you had a bitter argument with dad about this because you where defending me , you said I was still young you said the teachers where wrong to say that I was not attending class. You defended me, you said I was right yet you knew I was wrong. Mum remember very well, you saw me steal our neibours' bicycle when I was 17 but you didn't report I sold it but you were silent mum. You loved me so much yes you loved me but you you didn't correct me, instead you spoilt me. That is how it started and it graduated slowly until today when I will be electrocuted for bank robbery and mudder. I was very young I just needed your guidance mum, by the time you will be reading this I will be gone
Yours truly, your loving son.
To all parents out there the Bible says. Proverbs 13:24
"Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children. Those who love their children care enough to discipline them." Love your children don't forget to displine them.

Facebook nonsense has just wound me right up

I typed a paragraph but, in a very unlike me moment, decided that probably wasn’t sensible.
Both female colleagues btw too. 
Yep, always check Snopes.com for this stuff. My mum (75) complains I lose her all her friends on Facebook by ‘embarrassing her’ with ‘that website’ 
If truth hurts, then call me satisfied. Posting (and reposting) harmful claptrap is the bane of my existence.
Quite apart from how shitty and misogynistic it is, surely if he's not responsible for his actions because his mother should have raised him better then the mother isn't responsible either, her mother should have raised her better and so on and so on? He'd better get writing to Eve then but I think she's already had some flack for being responsible for a man's actions
