ORIGINAL: LipstickLeuger As a mother of three, 2 girls and 1 boy, with my son being 18 now...boys are different to raise. Male culture is about who can top who, even in friendly terms. My son pointed this out one day when he said male culture is all about 'seeing who can piss the farthest'. At least for teens it is. Teens are so hormonally charge and raw, they react and don't always think of the consequences. They take things too far. Thank you for the welcome. [:D] Team activities are so important for them! Mine is more of a deep thinker/Chess type of guy and loved being in Chess club and on Debate Team.(he actually has his own hash tag now from that. LOL) This pretty much taught him rules, and having to follow a more logical path to win, so I think it was immensely helpful. I am glad you mentioned females also, as our oldest is a definate Alpha Female and thinks much like a male would with regards to Top Dog. I read an enlightening article about how the Armed Services are set up to capitalize on this heirarchy of teamwork and having a strong leader to follow, and why it works especially well for males. Culture may understand that things are different between the sexes, but sometimes it is not very supportive of them. I agree, but I don't consider that culture or civilization should be supportive. And that is why I live off the grid, four miles outside the nearest town that has a population of 32 souls. I expect both culture and civilization to exist for its own propagation and safety. People either join or they don't. Some effect change, that's for sure. But for me, I don't inflict myself upon them and stay out of their sight as much as possible. It's a mutually acceptable arrangement so far.
