Caught this on tv today and thought it was such an interesting conversation.
Some say it is hard to raise boys in this day and age--to be strong, stoic, providers, fathers, yet also be sensitive, caring, show emotion and care for their babies in a way older generations did not. I say it is difficult to raise children of any sex in this day and age --it is a great responsibility that should be given thoughtful reflection and decisions and specific adherence to your ethics and morals. Make it a family value that everyone they meet is worthy of dignity and courtesy, whatever their sexual identity. #
Hear these three men have an interesting discussion:
Then here is some well thought out information I liked the structure of
How to raise feminist boys, by Tanith Carey however, would rename it How to Raise Good Children.
Thoughtful reading! Warmly, RoseAnne #RoseAnneBridge #Masculinity #Sons #Father
I really like this but I think the conversation needs to be broadened. Our changing roles but how to not take on a villains cloak. We will still need to raise strong and resolute boys to grow into strong and resolute men. I’m younger than a John Wayne generation but I still look at the toughness and grit of his characters with awe. And even if his character wasn’t beyond reproach in real life, he still espoused a great image of what a “man” could be even if imperfect. Great scene from Cahill. https://youtu.be/85qwOpJOWf4
