There is an article called 18 Ways to Raise Feminist Boys. This article will cause you to grind your teeth; it is so terribly tragic. It encourages you to buy dolls and play house with your sons. Let him polish his nails and wear a tutu. Tell him to read books of strong women. "Bust the myth that boys and girls are vastly different." Show him how to "respectfully" text someone when the time comes for them to have sex with them. Without God and His principles guiding our lives, chaos reigns very quickly. This is the end result of feminism.
In contrast to this article, I wrote a post about raising my sons called Raising Responsible Providers, Leaders, and Men of God. You see, the goal of feminism is for women to be "equal" with men in every single way. Therefore, they need to raise little boys to be like girls and little girls to be like boys. I'm not sure what they want boys to grow up to be, women? They should be raised to be men; men who work hard and provide for their families. Now that most of the women have careers and don't need men, many men are not sure of their role in society. Even in marriage, they are "partners" in marriage, although the women are usually the leaders and will mostly get what they want.
In schools, children are learning they can be boys or girls. It's their choice. The seed has been planted. As they grow, the seed is continually watered by what is going on in our culture and what they are seeing and learning. "You get to choose! If you're not happy with being a boy, be a girl!" The seed begins to sprout, take root, and grow until the children grow up and decide they don't like what they are; they want to become the opposite sex of what God created them to be. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death {James 1:15}. Don't allow those seeds to be planted in your children's mind. Tell them they were created by God in your womb to be exactly who they are at the minute of conception. Plant seeds of Truth into their minds and keep watering them with Truth! This is up to you since God commanded you to raise your children in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord.
Raise your daughters to be women. Raise them to love the idea of marriage, motherhood, and being a keeper at home. Raise them to be modest, discreet, good, and sober. Give them baby dolls to play with. Have them cook and clean with you. Dress them in feminine clothes. Raise your boys to be men. Raise them to work hard, love the idea of marriage, fatherhood, and being a provider. Teach them to be sexually pure and men of integrity. Raise them to enjoy trucks, balls, being brave and not afraid. Resist the devil by teaching them the Truth of God's Word and to hide His Word deep in their heart.
We don't need feminist boys in our culture. We need strong men who aren't afraid to be men. Men who are masculine and take their role seriously. Raise these kind of men. Be in rebellion to the ways of our culture and in obedience to the ways of the Lord!
Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

I wouldn't have Barbies in my home either. Especially since I found out their initial intended purpose was a grown mans 'plaything'. Yuck! I would maybe direct my son toward other forms of dance if he really showed an interest. He may just be expressing his desire to do creative movement. So try and channel that into less feminine forms or movement than ballet. But at the same time. He can do ballet, but don't make too big a deal of it. Give him more encouragement when he shows manly behaviour and attitudes. It may just be a passing phase. But most importantly, ask your husband or a Godly, manly man in your life if you are a single mom, what they would do.

The other thing that confuses me is that as women, most want strong men confident in their roles. Society doesn't use many pin-ups or billboards of feminine men... They generally use masculine men for models most of the time. We complain when men seem weak or wimpy, and yet articles like the one mentioned are being used to raise to raise the kind of men many women complain about! :/

I had the same thought: that list is setting boys up for failure, particularly with women. That is one of the cruel tricks feminism plays, though: it teaches women to be masculine and men to be feminine because it is the "right" way to be and then, only when it's too late, do people realize they are totally unattractive to the type of person they want to be with!

Feminists only looked at the short term goal when they began the movement. "Get women out of their homes doing something that will make them fell significant" without counting the long term cost of it. This is how all evil begins. Abortion. "Look at how easy it will be for women to get rid of an inconvenience and do what she wants with her body." 57 million babies murdered in the womb.

I've been a long time reader, but you have been making many statements that have no biblical basis. While women's roles are an important topic of study, it is not what makes a Christian. The belief in Christ is what saves us. There are 2 kinds of doctrine; the main and plain, and doctrine we will nit pick amongst ourselves until judgement day. This falls in the nit picky.

"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." {James 1:27}

What I found particularly disgusting and disturbing was where the author states, "Porn is a part of our kids' lives, whether we like it or not". There is a vast difference between having something a "part" of your life, and being accidentally exposed to it at one time or another in a place OTHER than the child's home. I sincerely hope that the author intended the latter, because if porn is a PART of your child's life, then you are doing something terribly wrong as a parent!! And seriously, "whether we like it or not"?? Why would we like it? I think the author of the article has some problems.

As you highlight, 1 Cor 16:13 is Paul’s summary about holding fast to the character of God, and that is through his representative on earth – men; ‘be manly.’ The devil says truth is 180° to scripture, to all that is God, and that includes taking men from leadership and authority and replacing them with women: feminism! But God is distinctly masculine and that is what Paul is saying here, to hold to His masculine character. That masculine character is the ‘image’ of God that we grow into, that the devil so wants to suppress. This topic is SO suppressed that the church will not even discuss it. It will not discuss that only the man was created in His image and the devil, in an attempt to destroy God’s plan, is pushing to put women in power as an ‘in Your face’ at God’s masculine nature --- including have the church assist him in the cover-up. Who ever discusses: “ in the image of God created He him” Gen 1:27 or 1 Cor 11:7 “…he is the image and glory of God; but the woman…”. This ties into 1 Cor 6:9+10 where Paul says to be not “effeminate” [soft] and he associates that with murderers, idolaters, extortioners! Masculine character is disciplined, principled, accountable, confronting, law enforcing, and harsh when it needs to be [after longsuffering]. And that IS love, the very love of our great God. This image is built into men – although substantially suppressed in the devil’s plan--- and this is the ‘image’ that Paul talks of in maturing toward God, that BOTH male and female respect and then implement. It does not mean women take up mixed martial arts; women still remain soft and ‘ladylike’ but they RESPECT men and God and gain understanding of that manly and principled character and champion that in all they do.
BTW: it is interesting to note that Babble.com is “Courtesy of Disney” -- kind of like the world’s new ‘courtesy’ of assisted suicide. At least they got their connection with the Tower of Babel correct; pure gibberish.

Thanks for taking a biblical stand concerning the role of men and women in society, Lori!
Many people don't see it but it's people like you who are on the front line of the battlefield.
Raising godly children IS the single most important task one can be assigned to in the kingdom of God.
Thank God you are crushing it!
Thanks for being that beacon of light for us all. May God continue to bless you and yours always!
Great post! Thanks for sharing.
