The new age sensitive men in the making!~
September 11th 2006 03:30
I read once from a friend's blog, that she had been literally feeding her then 7-year old baby brother with fairy tales and love stories....think Disney's 'The Ice Princess', 'Pocahontas' and the like. It got me really intrigue and so I asked her...."aren't those shows for cute, little girls coz you know, boys are more of 'Transformers' and 'X-men' (or whatever it is that little boys are waching now!) people. Her reply really surprised me....
"I'm trying to form my baby brother to be a sensitive guy/men when he grows up. One that will understand girls/women and stuff down all that cool, egoistic attitude and will protect women and their rights. And what better way than to let him watch princessy fairy tales about love!". Righttt. This is a new for me. On one hand, it might be a good idea and her plan will work like a charm (her new age sensitive baby brother in the making)....but then I still think that he needs to be exposed to more guy movies just to give it a right balance you know. I'm just concerned that what with all those girly movies, he'd turn out to be too much of a softie (or gay - forgive me for saying this!)...or - a total wimp! While it can be argued that it does not have to be that way....he might turn out to be somewhat of a metrosexual man (think, pink polo shirts and great skin), but can we be really sure of that, though?
I for one, would still love to see guys having that 'rough' side of them, coupled with their sensitivy towards women - and if they do enjoy watching girly movies, it'd be a plus but I doubt that most of the men today would enjoy doing that!

Boys need to be rough, and if you wan't to make them all sensitive to the world and not just a regular idiot then you can teach them good morals and behavior.
I doubt girls are all well-beahved as you guys claim
Its just a difference between boys and girls, you won't survive as a boy if your raised up as a sissy.
