NOUVELLE SAISON : PAS MES FILS Je suis mère de deux garçons qui ont 18 et 20 ans, et je suis soudain saisie d’un doute. Durant leur enfance, je n’ai pas particulièrement essayé de les élever en dehors de leur genre. La maison était remplie d’armes et de ballons. Mais c’étaient alors de petits garçons bien mignons et il était difficile d’imaginer qu’ils deviendraient des hommes musclés et plus grands que moi.Sauf que voilà, aujourd’hui, je me demande si ce sont de « bons gars ». Et surtout comment être sereine à fortiori maintenant que l’on sait que les ...

How bad is this humanitarian nightmare, really, and what can we do it?
