Even in the shooting club I belonged to, there were no German men who looked or behaved anything like a man's man. A John Wayne-type. Even the best shooters were soft and feminine. I missed American men.<br /><br />There are lots of places to place the blame in how we raise and treat boys and men. But I place some of the blame on our estrogen laden soy foods and birth-control-tainted water too.Christina Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03026226686936294936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-20177099513412123042014-05-09T08:38:02.758-07:002014-05-09T08:38:02.758-07:00Magister said "What does the coonosphere thin...Magister said "What does the coonosphere think of the hypothesis that western societies are increasingly estrogen dominant?"<br /><br />Maybe more like Testosterone deprived? ...or impaired? ...or embarrassed?Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-27328393040779073952014-05-09T08:27:31.608-07:002014-05-09T08:27:31.608-07:00the state needs single mothers like a man needs a ...<i>the state needs single mothers like a man needs a wife.

And soon after not taught in the churches... or the theaters... or the homes.<br /><br />Only after a century of carefully not teaching certain lessons, have the misfits become perfect fits for the wranglers of Rialto.<br /><br />Ignorance breeds humanoid misfits, only timeless truths worth knowing, rears Men & Women... and if they aren't taught, they won't be learned.

My two eldest are grown, and I spent the most of my mothering teaching my daughter to battle her nature, and not so much my son, as our culture batters boys badly enough. They are both very conservative, and a pleasure to be around. I think they are both 9s, but I may be biased. : )Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284936021406079076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-25169362853419508792014-05-08T16:50:40.402-07:002014-05-08T16:50:40.402-07:00Father Stephen knocks another one out of the park ...Father Stephen knocks another one out of the park (7 May post).

I also noticed that in all the stories I've seen so far on that one, the authors are very careful to find nothing whatsoever noteworthy about the name of the superintendent. Even at Ace's. Which is probably fair - maybe he didn't have anything to do with it, besides being the guy people contact when something weird happens in a classroom. But the fact that apparently <i>none of the teachers</i> who presumably gave this assignment had a problem with it is extremely troubling, and I wonder just how many other Mohammeds or just garden variety Holocaust deniers are working in the Rialto school district. And what else they are teaching that some might find "objectionable."juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-41130928458240524682014-05-08T14:31:45.786-07:002014-05-08T14:31:45.786-07:00OK, one more.

When women get it into their heads to "act like men" (which reflects manliness about as well as the average transvestite reflects femininity), not only do they fail to man up (which is to say, gain masculine power), they lose much of the genuine power that women already possess. <br /><br />Now that I have one of each to raise, it's interesting to see the different ways their male and female natures develop. And notably, they both need to be... not <i>curbed</i>, generally, but rather, <i>directed</i>. For instance, we try to direct the boy's aggressive impulses toward being protective. With the girl, on the other hand, the challenge is to help her direct her dramatic tendencies, which unchecked have the potential to be at least as destructive as anything a male could blow up.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.com
