“Our son was using our home computer to do some research for a report he’s writing. While doing a search, he accidentally stumbled onto a porn site. He frantically clicked the ‘back’ arrow but couldn’t get out, then panicked. I wish I would have given him permission ahead of time to simply turn off the computer if something like that happened. That was three days ago. He’s still upset.”
“I’m concerned about the way the media portrays men. My husband and son can’t watch a sports event on television without being barraged with inane commercials that sexually exploit and yet glamorize women, then make men look like idiots. Hitting the mute button doesn’t help. The ridiculous images still flash across the screen.”
“My son had the saddest look on his face when he came home from school today. I asked him what happened. He says his teacher doesn’t like any of the boys in his class. She has repeatedly reprimanded my son for being too rambunctious. Now, he’s deathly afraid he is going to fail second grade.”
Reasons boys are in trouble today:
1. The negative content prevalent in most mass media.
2. The favoritism shown to girls in public schools.
3. The sexual revolution and radical feminism.
4. The absence of caring fathers.
5. The weakening of the family, which hurts boys
the most.
It’s important to be aware of these negative cultural influences — and to counteract them whenever possible.
