Empowering boys
I know alot of empowering young women and girlpower and I have read many
periodicals and books on the subject. Now, I am searching for empowering young men and boypower. The search is very skim. I have read, Bad Boys and Raising Boys, but there is just not as much out there on this subject as far as programs to help boys, besides YMCA. I know there is boy scouts and girl scouts, etc, but they are something that is not close by in our area. I am going to be getting some ideas together to begin a program within the school system that empowers our young men. I have been reading a lot of stuff to present to some rape crisis volunteers on the history of rape. This is what got me to think about how men are raised to commit such a horrible act. Then I think of their home life, etc. and it is a serious factor? What do you guys think? I will be going to school (senior highs) and speaking to young women about rape prevention, but just what can I tell the boys? Sorry about the long rant. Thanks. V The teacher will appear when the pupil is ready. |

"Female empowerment" is more or less "think only about yourself and step over anyone who gets in your way". And modern female have taken to that with almost religious fervor. However, men are the complete opposite. They compromise, they are considerate, they help their fellow human beings. THIS is the true empowerment, empowerment of the soul. What women are doing is simply evil. |

I know a lot of the act of rape is about the "power and control" and not the actual sexual gratification. I have heard and read that these men/boys grow up with a hatred of women or a particular woman (Mother) . I do see how poor parenting could create this behavior, but sometimes a sick mind is just a sick mind and there was no reason for it , no one to blame...........

B wrote: To seek out professional help if they think it is o.k. to violate and cause such pain suffering and harm to another human being? That "NO" means "NO" and forcing beyond that point is wrong, a violent act, that is not O.K. ever. I am thinking good moral values are indeed taught at home, unfortunately many young men and women grow up without the needed guidance. Many fall through the cracks . Maybe telling the boys exactly what being raped feels like to a woman , how it destroys both body and mind and the struggle involved with healing from such a despicable act. (touchy subject) Bev V The teacher will appear when the pupil is ready. Rape, unfortunately can happen to boys too. Also you have to look at the controversy in the Catholic Church and think about all the young boys that were molested. The church finally admitted it, acknowledged it. Hopefully it won't be pushed under the rug anymore. My relative was molested by his uncle when he was a little boy, and he had repressed this memory until he was in his 60'd. I can't imagine holding it in for so long. Best of luck in empowering boys! It'll help them become better fathers, uncles, cousins and sons. Young boys can also be raped by women, and unfortunately, when those criminals become pregnant and give birth, the courts have deemed it just to rape those same victims by assessing child support too. sg |
