Anna – I want my child to lose at soccer…

If he’s playing soccer, he’s already losing.

Seriously. You might as well just put him in a dress and call it a day at that point.

Myth number three is that boys are toxic.

Not content with trying to destroy men and masculinity in their lust for power, the toxic feminists are now attacking boys. Shame on them!

You might as well just put him in a dress and call it a day at that point.

LOL, I do have to laugh at that because it was just last night he mentioned hating soccer when he was little. (he was 4 when he played it and so I’m sure it’s just that he hates the thought of ever playing it or having to admit he ever played it)
My son is a 6’5″ and 240 lbs University football scholarship possessing kid who, on his own, opted to give up his starting position during his second year in order to help his friend keep his wheat ranch. The friend and wife were hospitalized for 5 months due to an accident and my son moved into the household of four young children and full time ranch. He was 19 and pulled it off, so to me, my son is more of a man than anyone on earth.
ANYWAY … likwidshoe, I know my son is going to love laughing at your quote and telling me “I told you soccer is for girls”
;-P

boys are toxic

that’s true … and girls have cooties but we still seem to fall in love with each other.
Society is becoming ridiculously silly. To me, this all comes from people who, themselves were perhaps, on the losing side of many childhood games and not taught how to deal with it. Their parents most likely made the winners out as the bad person for winning.
Parents or so called advocates are once again thinking, (yeah, thinking is probably the optimal problem right there), but they are thinking they are protecting children and making them better for society. In reality they are making children grow up blind to what the real world can be like.
Preparing our children for the future is our job and others are trying to prevent the way we wish our children to grow up. I want my child to lose at soccer or other sports. Not always of course, but a child has to experience many situations before we can teach them how to deal with it. I would really hate to see all the children growing up without knowing what it’s like to deal with the disappointment of not winning.
Sheesh… and people wonder why so many adults who need therapy? It’s because they are being raised overprotected from the real world. They reach adulthood and all of a sudden discover they don’t always get their ways and say, “OMG, I can’t deal with this”. That’s because they were never taught how.

What happend to Father Know’s Best?

Even then, the vast majority of TV family sitcoms followed the formula of “dumb, bumbling husband, smart wife”. Check out some reruns of “Ozzie and Harriet” sometime. Harriet always saves the day, while Ozzie just lounges around in his cardigan. This brainwashing against men has been going on for a very long time.

The problem is that misguided feminists, intent on advancing a radically different worldview than the one on which this nation was founded, have succeeded in fomenting a revolution.

And that revolution amounts to a powerful and pervasive campaign against masculinity, maleness, boys, men and patriarchy.”

One popular viewpoint among feminists contends that boys are suffering from masculinity myths which, when enforced, work to squeeze them into a gender straightjacket.

According to this theory, outmoded notions about masculinity cause parents to push boys away from their mothers too soon, resulting in a life long sense of anxiety and permanent damage to self-esteem.

This is the viewpoint of Harvard professor William Pollack[ WHO'S FEMINIZING AMERICA] in his book Real Boys: Rescuing Our Sons from the Myths of Boyhood. [I think ole Bill must be friends with Ted Haggard, Larry Craig, and Mark Foley]

What are these masculine myths that Dr. Pollack feels are so dangerous?

The first myth is that nature wins out over nurture, in other words, that boys will be boys. The assumption here is that testosterone is more powerful in shaping behavior than relationships and training are.

The second myth is that boys should be boys. This dangerous myth supports the idea that boys should learn to be tough and never exhibit feminine traits.

Myth number three is that boys are toxic. Where girls have a civilizing effect on the environment, boys are by nature dangerous and potentially damaging to those around them.

When these myths are used as a guide to raising boys, Dr. Pollack believes that we damage our children.

In our desire to make boys into tough, competitive men, they lose touch with who they really are, their “inner boy,” and as a result they become angry, dysfunctional adult males likely to abuse their wives and neglect their children.

What a bunch of “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” made for TV, bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is just another attack on men and masculinity, like some women have been perpetrating for decades.
We let this crap go by at our own peril.

I had always wondered about what fascinated WOOF so…now we know!

That is why “compassion” is probably the most frequently cited value.

Compassion is a masculine virtue; the feminists use it when they really mean “sympathy”(having the same feeling).

I played that game in school too, Mr. Novowels, and it goes back several generations from ours. “Queer” was used not as a slur but simply to denote the one person on the field different from everyone else: The one with the ball.

It was harmless kid fun, but I’m sure it wouldn’t be allowed on any playground today.
