In these schools, individuality dies at the hands of an institutional culture which values collectivism, muscle and toeing the line.</i><br /><br />The obvious retort to that is that Leftist-run, mixed-sex schools do not allow boys to "discover who they are on their own" either, but force the boys to become something that suits their (Leftist, female) teachers. Moreover, in Leftist-run, mixed-sex schools, male individuality dies at the hands of an institutional culture that values collectivism, coercion, and toeing the line. <br /><br />And it's simply ludicrous to imagine that the "ideology of masculinity" is not being "challenged" outside the school environment. All they have to do to have their masculinity challenged is turn on the TV!Bahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-26264189208219455102014-07-07T22:04:49.907+10:002014-07-07T22:04:49.907+10:00You have laid your finger on the standard liberal ...You have laid your finger on the standard liberal "bait and switch." First they will argue that personality is formed entirely by environment, then they will tell you that there is one special environment that doesn't form personality, but somehow stands back and allows the personality to develop freely. Of course this (non)environment that the liberal advocates is an environment that produces personalities that the liberal would like to see produced--weak, equivocating, androgynous.<br /><br />Environment has <i>some</i> influence on personality, particularly during childhood. As it so happens, children are not able to choose the environment they will be raised in, and so we put this in the hands of their parents. Sometimes these parents make poor choices, but most parents have their children's best interests at heart. Very few dads force their "artistic" son to go out for the football team, but busybodies like Godhino and Cornell would, apparently, force any number of rough-and-tumble boys to take ballet lessons.
