I now see where I did not bring up many of these things with my boys. They are whole men but not sure how we got there

We are of the opinion that there are many ways to raise healthy, happy boys and definitely don't think our book is the Bible of raising good men! You clearly did a lot of things very well, and we are so grateful that you watched this super fun Live interview.

Boys need their male mentor by 7 years old. If their mentor is restricted another can be substituted but the boys' choices of mentors must be noticed and discussed at the very least. Raising boys without male example is like making sourdough without using heat... 💗

What is masculine? That which is not feminine... Dictation isn't even disguisable as conversation at 7... And yes I reject the designation as "man". Too many associated biases and connotations

So the goal is to remove or vilify all male to female attraction/sexual tension? Women have attractions to buy they aren't problematic until the bunnies start boiling beside the school shooters

60s and 70s according to my research had wit and banter as the gender conversation vehicle. A sense for not of humour

By 8 a boy should have directly learned/inherited their mentor's sense of humour. This should match his feminine carer's sense for humour

The act of sex is intuitive. The reasons behind having sex needs education

Teaching about sexualities is teaching about the history of artificial barriers between civilizations and the real time reflection of stagnant philosophy

If unclear I believe the act of sex is both private and not a social taboo. It is the source of all life and when done right the best thing ever

I wouldn't know much about sex if other boys didn't volunteer info/conversations on the subject... Teenage boys do talk... Maybe it gets ground out of them in later life (from womens' perspective)

It was such an amazing conversation!
