A sad article I read from a woman’s magazine the early years of “women’s liberation” and Ms Magazine brainwashing.
A woman recalled forcing her little son to play with toys that didn’t reflect the patriarchal societal paradigm.
“But no matter what I did he’d find a way to root around in his toy chest until he found where I hid his ball or his soldier and gun toys at the bottom. I felt like giving up shaping him.
So sad for those boys.
I was out in the woods last weekend with a friend’s two little girls (I’m a guy). People have placed gnomes and other decorations in the area and they were excited to find them and would exclaim “Another one!” and run to see it.
At one point I saw a bunch of branches made into a lean-too and told them about the cool fort. They didn’t even give it a glance as they searched for more gnomes.
Their dad came down to let us know dinner was ready. As we were walking back up he said “Hey - did you see that cool fort over there?”
Reminds me of a similar story of a “liberated” mother that decided to raise up her son with “sensible” eating habits that didn’t include sugar and sweets. After several years of this, giving her child carrot sticks instead of cookies and all that, she finally allowed her child to attend a friend’s birthday party.
All of that “sensible” programming was wiped away with the first bite of chocolate cake, and she got a dirty look from him of “YOU’VE BEEN DEPRIVING ME”.
A former friend of mine did not want her son playing with guns...she said he would eat his sandwiches into guns (shape)...in other words it was impossible to stop...he turned out fine
