How are young boys to know they are meant to be leaders? The young boys are emasculated with tv shows which are PC obligated to show girls beating out the boys.

It is take you girls to work day, not take your son to work day. The only organization specifically made to make boys men and leaders, the boy scouts, is under attack and on the outs with the powers that be.

Before a man can be a king, he must first master being a prince who will one day be king. (look at the lion king, first movie good, sequal movie was pc barf)

Forget this generation, how do we train all the boys growing up now?

Well, you are right, how are boys to know, but it's not an easy problem to solve is it? It's not just the roles emulated on television, it's the roles emulated at home(or lack of them--thinking thatsegment of women bring children into the world with various losers). Aside from the societal pressures, you have men who don't teach their son what their role is and women, who are still caught up in their feminist ideals(even if they are home), and emasculate their own sons or encourage them towards women tha will emasculate them. On that note, I've always felt sorry for the son Camryn Manheim bore out of wedlock. I heard her talk about parenthood and "not needing a father" (and she is fairly militant about this) and couldn't help but think how emasculated her son was going to be. She's already going in ready to teach him that he is a useless part of the equation and not needed to lead a stable home.

I don't know how to solve this on the grand scale, I'm just trying to do my part to raise men and women who will have a more biblical view of the world, themselves, and marriage.

"It is take you girls to work day, not take your son to work day."

Several of us 'lobbied' to change 'Take Your Daughter To Work' day to 'Take Your Child To Work' day. It's turned out to be a great boon for kids of both genders.

And by the way, many of us who lobbied for the change were women.
