The members will appreciate instruction from Claire Cain Miller of the New York Times on how to raise their sons. And you better listen up, pigs. It's [social] science.

Quote:HOW TO RAISE A FEMINIST SON

We’re now more likely to tell our daughters they can be anything they want to be — an astronaut and a mother, a tomboy and a girlie girl. But we don’t do the same for our sons.

Even as we’ve given girls more choices for the roles they play, boys’ worlds are still confined, social scientists say. They’re discouraged from having interests that are considered feminine. They’re told to be tough at all costs, or else to tamp down their so-called boy energy.

If we want to create an equitable society, one in which everyone can thrive, we need to also give boys more choices. As Gloria Steinem says, “I’m glad we’ve begun to raise our daughters more like our sons, but it will never work until we raise our sons more like our daughters.”

That’s because women’s roles can’t expand if men’s don’t, too. But it’s not just about women. Men are falling behind in school and work because we are not raising boys to succeed in the new, pink economy. Skills like cooperation, empathy and diligence — often considered to be feminine — are increasingly valued in modern-day work and school, and jobs that require these skills are the fastest-growing.

LET HIM BE HIMSELF


Even as adult gender roles have merged, children’s products have become more divided by gender than they were 50 years ago, research has found: pink princesses and blue trucks, not just in the toy aisle but on cups and toothbrushes. It’s no wonder that children’s interests end up aligning that way.

But neuroscientists say children aren’t born with those preferences. Until the mid-20th century, pink was the boy color and blue was for girls....

...

Offer open-ended activities, like playing with blocks or clay, and encourage boys to try activities like dress-up or art class, even if they don’t seek them out, social scientists say. Call out stereotypes. (“It’s too bad that toy box shows all girls because I know boys also like to play with dollhouses.”) It could also improve the status of women.

In all seriousness, this is infuriating, but instructive. A few points:

1. The pink economy. It is now obvious the de-polarisation of gender is related to work and class. The author acknowledges so much. What's the solution? Smash the cucks in silicon valley? Turn back technological progress? Don't see an easy answer here.

The most digital nomads will ever achieve is pretend masculinity. Manhood needs to be tied to social roles. And I don't think leaving the country, and then ranting about the situating back home, is the best answer.

2. The article attempts not only to apologise for this economic state of affairs, but normalise them. It's not enough that office jobs will crush their instinctive masculinity, and force young men to behave like bitches. Child abuse begins in the home.

3. The author doesn't get that "be yourself" is a bullshit concept. OF COURSE we teach boys to be boys. If you teach them to be faggots, they will be faggots. So the task is to reclaim the positive value of masculinity.

It's not enough to advocate the "old ways" anymore. Somebody needs to articulate, once again, why they are still of value in the "pink economy". Or else, get rid of the pink economy altogether.

How to raise a feminist son:

Teach him masculinity is toxic

Prescribe legal meth

Make snowflake rules like no headshots in dodgeball

Have him live with lots of cats

Encourage classes like sociology instead of woodshop

Unfortunately, it's her and most females on the planet.

Notice the "much needed male role models" don't men the father.

You sound like you're still in the angry phase of redpill acceptance. I was there too once. The below statement made me think though. Some of the most solid guys I've met have been the "digital nomad expat" type you find in SA, EE and SEA. But they ran away from their problems at home. Is it smarter to stay home and fix the problem or say "fuck it" and peace out?

I do. And as it turns out, he thinks and acts like a boy. Who woulda thunk it?

Reading that made me queasy until I realized that when I have a son and raise him to be a man, there will be so little competition from his peers.

Just do the opposite of most of the talking points in this garbage article and your son will be better off.

That kid is fucked.

Almost 100% of all serial killers came from overbearing psychopathic mothers. I am sure that a radical feminist fits the bill.

I came here to post that dumbass article, glad someone here beat me to it. How anyone still takes the Carlos Slim Blog seriously is beyond me.

Let's go through the points of "advice" on this propaganda piece:

- Nobody ever told me there were not appropriate times to cry. But for boys there are many times where it's not the right response. I have never once in my life seen my father cry, not because he's a macho tough guy, but because he has a dignified composure and control over his emotions.

- Role models suggested are women that a boy will almost certainly not relate to. Not mentioned are (most importantly) a father, or others that boys are naturally drawn toward, like athletes and fighters. Oh yeah, they also glorify single motherhood in this section.

- Encourage your boys to play with dolls and dress up instead of, you know, letting them play with toys and activities they naturally want. Authorix lies and pretends that creative activities like Legos, modeling clay, etc. are "gender neutral" rather than masculine. The real reason boys aren't encouraged to "take ballet or become nurses" is because men need to be able to provide to demonstrate high SMV and attract women.

- Girls do chores and boys don't, whaaaah. Bullshit. I did tons of chores around the house when I was a kid. Boys work at least as hard as girls and this duplicitous bitch knows it. Boys probably should learn to cook, though, since most girls have no clue how to anymore and it'll make them healthier and more self-sufficient.

- Boys should be involved in taking care of siblings and other family members, I'm pretty sure they always have and the bitch authorix is deliberately obfuscating. But girls are probably better at it, and more importantly, *want* to do it.

- Boys raised by mothers who work are more likely to be egalitarian pussies. Boys with a traditional family are more likely to continue that way. Not surprisingly, in their litany of bullshit cherry-picked studies, they omitted the one about how men split the household chores with their wives have less sex.

- Just about every platonic "friendship" I had with girls from adolescence through adulthood was shallow, pointless, and only reinforced my disillusionment with American chicks, having the exact opposite effect of what the authorix suggests. I agree and amplify on this point because it will make young men much more aware of the ugly realities of female nature. For boys, there's basically no point because boys' and girls' interests and activities are so different.

- "Consent" in this context is just a codeword for giving girls physical control over men to restrain them pretty much at will. It's a semantic prison that conditions boys to be subservient to girls. Authorix misses the obvious point, which is that divorce, single motherhood, and women choosing abusive idiots to father their children are irresponsible and wicked.

- Don't let boys tease or verbally push each other! (a natural activity that builds toughness and resilience.) Train them to bitch and tattletale like a girl! Close with a quote by a notorious serial adulterer.

- Boys don't want to be called girls because - say it with me now - BOYS AND GIRLS ARE DIFFERENT. Authorix doesn't seem to notice that the exact same holds true for feminine girls. Also, she passive-aggressively bitches like a girl.

- Boys should read a lot. They should read books that teach them masculine virtues and inspire adventurousness, imagination, creativity, and perseverance. Authorix is completely oblivious how her advice, when properly applied, flips the script on her feminist narrative. Point out to your boys how artificial diversity, shaming of masculinity, and other cultural Marxist narratives are deliberate propaganda so they can recognize and refute it.

- Celebrate boyhood. Teach them to show strength - the strength to call out bullshit feminist attacks on reality (and identity.) Teach them to provide for their families by rejecting the feminist notion that a man is the same as a woman. Show them how to be tough - tough enough to resist SJW nonsense even when they get attacked for it. Oh, and teach them to spend time with their fathers, which is the last thing the bitch authorix wants.

OP I'd like to know more about this pretend masculinity you speak of.......
