Why is it ok for kids, especially boys, to be watching WWF and tanks firing, bombs exploding but the hero kisses his trophy heroine, not even a French one, they need to cover their eyes?
I am not saying to allow them to watching kissing (or worse), I am saying they shouldn’t be allowed to watch violence.
Oh and I think kids are pretty resilient, just like watching Rambo will not make them mobsters, watching some romance will not make them into Romeos.
And I am not saying we are biased against sexuality in media (print or electronic), I am saying we are very pro-violence. I know kids who at the age of 3-5 are not only exposed to jokes like WWF or highly biased military drama with good guys and bad guys & things blowing up and glorification of war but they are encouraged to watch it. I can only assume it is in an effort to make them macho.
Its easy to mimic/duplicate a kiss than to duplicate bombing or violence. You will never find some preteens trying to explode a bomb in their school back yard, but teachers often caught kids kissing each other.

But kicking, punching or beating is very much possible and teachers have known to catch kids doing that.
I don't understand this either, when we were younger we were allowed the watch films with really graphic violence whenever we wanted but even the slightest kiss and our parents would tell us to cover our eyes.
I know I will probably do the same with my own children.

same reason why parents fight in front of their kids but usually do not kiss in front of their kids.
