respectable philosophers of the mind now hold that all matter, and therefore every bicycle, involves consciousness
Boyhood used to be a time of freedom and fun—of catching bullfrogs, playing tackle football, and roaming the woods—but not anymore. Rambunctious, high-spirited boys—healthy boys—nowadays face an increasingly hostile world that doesn’t value the unique gifts of boys, that discounts their masculine virtues, and that undermines what boys need to become mature, confident, and thoughtful men. In Boys Should Be Boys, Dr. Meeker reveals:
* Why the most important factor in shaping your son’s behavior isn’t “peer pressure” (it’s you)
* How to preserve your son’s innocence (and why it’s essential to help him grow up)
* Why boys need less, not more—whether it’s computer games, organized sports, or tumblrs
* Why bullfrogs don’t carry rabies and are pleasurable to lick and get high off of
* Why it’s not normal for teenage boys to be moody and rebellious or have boners
* Why teaching your son about virtue isn’t an option, it’s a necessity (do not let have sex ever, under any circumstances)
