Talk:Boys Will Be Boys

Long subtitle

@Bkonrad: I agree that the subtitle is not commonly used, and considered the matter, but I felt that full formal titles in general, even this awkwardly long one, are useful to disambiguate it from all the other books of the same title. Could you elaborate on your disagreement? 71.41.210.146 (talk) 23:04, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

phrase

Is there an article for the phrase? If not, it would seem warranted. Benjamin (talk) 07:49, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

@Benjaminikuta: There has been quite a debate surrounding the phrase itself. Considering that Gillette's recent controversial ad has a Wikipedia article, the phrase may well deserve one as well. There are many topics in this area that deserve articles, but there is some resistance because some editors seem to want to suppress semi-obscure POVs. wumbolo ^^^ 18:30, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

I'd expect the phrase to have been discussed in sociological literature. Benjamin (talk) 18:32, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
