"All that's necessary for the forces of evil to win in the world is for enough good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke

Boys will be Boys is Demeaning to Men

When we teach our children outdated gender roles of Masculine and Feminine stereotypes in the home and at work, we are teaching them that people are Different. But what are we really teaching them?

When we say, "Boys will be boys" are we excusing inappropriate behavior and setting up problems in adulthood?

Numerous stories could be written about the entitled masses taking advantage of those less fortunate.
I'd like to take this time to use a different tactic. Boys don't have to be boys and many can choose to be men of honor.

Thankfully, I have a friend in Dave Harding. He is the captain of the Duke Football team and one of the Good Works Nominees honored at the Sugar Bowl last night. http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=209356771

Another nominee is Tusculum College quarterback, Bo Cordell. http://www.tusculumpioneers.com/article.asp?articleID=4390

Both of these student athletes exemplify Boys being Men, taking responsibility for the world around them and working harder than they must to promote those less fortunate.
