But you know something, as a father, I certainly plan on teaching my son about women before his “buddies” do. I fear we’ve taught our boys to be “Mr. Nice-Guys” and they grow up too soft, clumsy, and unable to be “men” with women. I’m not sure, but I wonder if this is why so many of our boys are becoming, well, “light in the loafers”? Our boys need confidence and identity. I firmly believe there are lines that shouldn’t be crossed. But still I often wonder…whatever happened to being, “men”?
I don't know Rhoni... what do you think?

Aquila,
This is a sad state of affairs. I think the feminist movement contributed to the whole mess [did Rhoni say that?]. Men and women are so unsure of what role they are to be in.
Men aren't supporting their families and leaving women to be mom and dad to the children. Women in that role cannot go back to the submissive role because there is no trust there.
Dating is so out of whack. Women asking men to go out on dates making themselves vulnerable. Men asking women on dates without a clue as to proper ettiquette, i.e., asking a week to 10 days in advance and then actually planning it.
At least, growing up in the church...we had banquests to go to and the guys asked the girls ahead of time. Then the planning and excitement.
It also worries me how that, in my day - a kiss on the first date was considered "loose", and now they do so much more than that and the girls are usually the ones that the boys have to push away a say "no" to.
Wow...this is such a topic Aquila.
Blessings, Rhoni
