While I think that it's something that one should know how to do, I still feel that suppressing the urge to kill small animals for fun is a good thing. 99% of people could do it without turning into Jeff Dahmer, but that last 1% gets really messy.

It seems men are going to continue to be the rulers in one guise or another, due to at least five causes. They're reported to have parity with women in average intelligence, greater variability in intelligence than women (so that there are both more male morons <em>and more male geniuses</em>), greater aggressiveness, and greater confidence in the face of danger. Those four qualities are united with a fifth cause, a desire: Men tend to have a greater desire to rule than women do. Thus, it seems to be given to women to exercise influence only over which men rule and the character of their rule. In particular, if large numbers of women do their best to influence boys to be easily ruled by women, then in the aggregate, they'll succeed only in producing a class of men subservient to other men, who have the ability and upbringing required for rule. In this time, it appears that American and European women are preparing their boys for subservience to muslim men and the Islamic male <em>par excellence</em>, who is of course Allah. I have a growing appreciation for Mark Steyn's opinion that Western women will be surprised in coming years by trends of conversion to Islam by Western men. If men are discouraged from being men in the Christian and secular West, it appears we'll see an intensifying contest for men's hearts and minds among Jesus, Oprah, and Allah. “You can throw Nature out with a pitchfork, but she will keep coming back.” It seems men are going to continue to be the rulers in one guise or another, due to at least five causes.

A very good book in which she discusses how boys are now being shortchanged and belittled in schools. One of the reasons boys fall behind in schools especially in courses such as reading is that the books that are used do not appeal to them. Boys want to read books with action, sports oriented stories, outdoors stories, stories involving competition. They also thrive in a learning environment where they can exercise their competitive muscles. They also need a male role model (teacher, coach, principal) that they can look up to. We are beginning to see the ill effects of this "War against Boys" as our colleges now average a ratio of 60% female students to 40% male with the number of male students dropping.
