We are turning against boys and forgetting a simple truth: that the energy, competitiveness, and corporal daring of normal, decent males is responsible for much of what is right in the world.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm concerned that boys have become politically incorrect, that we are a society in the process of turning against its male children.
We need to instill the values that are important for future generations, and above all we have to show boys how to respect women.
Boy's natural play is rough and tumble play, it's the universal play of little boys. And it's very different from aggression. And we are a society that's failing to understand the distinction.
There's an unconscious bias in our society: girls are wonderful; boys are terrible. And to be a boy, or young man, growing up, having to listen to all this, it must be painful.
If boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men?
Giving responsibility is the key to success with boys, especially with the rowdiest and most difficult boys.
Boys are quite often whimsical. Whereas girls are modest by nature and know their responsibilities very well. Their weapons are service, sacrifice, and love, by which they conquer over the males.
Often, women as little girls are sent off on a track for them to live a perfect life and be a perfect woman. Not for boys, who can be themselves with their mood and their temper.
Because we men have been physically stronger and more arrogant, we've influenced much of the cool stuff of the world, like basing the definition of courage on what we do on battlefields rather than on the patience or endurance or tolerance necessary for a sometimes painful daily grind that includes small children.
The whole world is starting to realize that it was the most unwise thing for our society to have ignored women power, to run the society with male priorities.
