[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tried everything I could -no video games, no violent movies or tv, no toy guns or swords or any violent type play at all. Encouraged empathy and peaceful problem solving and anger management (I’m a behavioral scientist). 
Society influences won and he is violent and has assaulted women. 
However, if I hadn’t raised him as I did, I know he’d be 100 x worse. 
I’ve long admired how boys are raised in other cultures, I think our culture in the USA is dangerous. 
We excuse and allow bad behavior and mistreatment of women. 
This is not keeping boys safe, this is pushing them to be violent. [/quote]

im sorry- but ive seen moms like this who completely undermine their own credibility by buying skirts for their 5 year old boys in the hopes they will wear them. the boys think their moms are crazy and basically wont listen to them from a young age.  i know plenty of people- both men and women who hunt and fish and rock climb and paint and do legos who are NOT violent and wouldnt even yell at anyone, much less assault them.

joanna goddard has a lot of good, helpful articles about how to raise sons.

most people in society were not rsising viking berserkers, there are a lot of nice normal guys who are not toxic.  get your boys playing outside or playing video games even but off SM![/quote]
