Never mind the fact that the daily beatings that their kids are receiving are damaging them in a more harmful way than mobile phones ever can. Whatever happens, Bangladeshi parents have always blamed the failing of their kids on smartphones and other technologies. For example, in sex-ed, kids would be taught about consent, their bodies, consensual sexual relationships, and how women are not sexual objects. But these things aren’t taught because the majority of the country don’t want their kids to learn about sex as they don’t want their kids to engage in sex. So, when they inevitably see by-products of the system, it is normal for them to blame things that are foreign to the culture, such as feminism or cell phones.
