I'm not worried about offending them because they are the "supposed" weaker sex -- whatever the h*ll that means. I'm only pointing out that humiliation doesn't usually work out to humility in the end -- and that applies to both boys and girls. Just because the girls are brandishing knives doesn't mean their human dignity doesn't deserve respect. If we would respect them more in the little things, they'd be a lot less likely to be dissing each other with the blades -- and that applies to both boys and girls. I seriously hope you're not working with kids anywhere but the basketball court. This kind of "kids today are hopeless" attitude is definitely not what anyone needs.
