Is Your Son Glad to Be a Boy?

How Radical Feminism Harms Boys

Even if your son knows enough to steer clear of the anti-masculine land mines placed throughout our culture, he almost invariably will still be hit by shrapnel.

In his best-selling book Bringing Up Boys, Dr. James Dobson explains the agenda of radical feminists:

1. “The war against men actually began with a speech by Kate Miller entitled ‘Sexual Politics.’ It was delivered to a ‘women’s liberation’ meeting at Cornell University, and it, for the first time, characterized men and women as political enemies. From there, passions were set on fire.”

2. “[Early] leaders linked all the Marxist causes together by proclaiming, ‘We want to destroy the three pillars of class and [a] caste society — the family, private property, and the state.”

3. “Feminist Karla Mantilla summarized the philosophy behind it in an article entitled ‘Kids Need “Fathers” Like Fish Need Bicycles.” She wrote: “I submit that men tend to emphasize values such as discipline, power, control, stoicism, and independence. Sure, there can be some good from these things, but they are mostly damaging to kids (and other living things). They certainly made my son suffer an isolated and tortured existence until he began to see that there was a way out of the trap of masculinity.”
