During this morning's run, I listened to latest Glenn & Helen Show podcast. This time, British author Conn Iggulden, whose bestselling book, co-authored by his brother Hal, is The Dangerous Book for Boys.
Conn states the obvious, assuming you possess common sense, that boys are different from girls, and he decries the femininization of education.And yes, it's okay if a young boy comes home with a scrape on his knee. It's part of being a boy.
As for myself, when I was a 10 year-old in southwest suburban Chicago, I played tackle football with other kids my age--without pads, helmets, or adult supervision. That's probably unthinkable today.
The Glenn & Helen Show regular podcast feature on Pajamas Media, hosted by Instapundit's Glenn Reynolds and Dr. Helen Smith.
