BTW, this question has nothing to do with sexual orientation or even letting boys be more sensitive. It is more about the way everything now is deemed "dangerous" or "sports without points" things like that.

Nope, it's just that we've dropped our need to masculinize boys from the time they drop out of the womb. There's nothing wrong with teaching a kid to love something instead of beating the daylights out of it.
It's all well and good to buy a kid action figures that he can make kill one another, but what if he wants a teddy bear, or I guess even a baby doll, to show affection to? It seems ethically reckless to tell him that that sort of behavior makes him less of a boy.
Violence and bravado are a part of the human animal, and I'd never say that they don't have their place in our world. It's just our responsibility to teach our children to limit them to when they're necessary, and for the rest of the time, there's nothing wrong with kindness and tenderness.

I agree. Kids need to learn how to deal with the world, and that means taking a few licks. It's handicapping them to protect them from every little bump.

Yes, and i makes me sick. We are creating a weak America, across the board. One day soon we'll all pay for it. It sucks, but it's going to take a good *** kicking to learn the lesson, but that's the only way we're going to learn. To bad we can't learn from history.

Yes I agree. It is making the children grow up to be weak and fearful.

We want family and yet we are having fewer kids, each of them becoming more precious to us because there are fewer of them. So what dangers do you want your kids to go through?
