Being a free-thinking, innovative person in a female-dominated environment is hell. The mean girl panopticon never forgets and never forgives.
You can say something mildly out of line and a girl you’ve never heard of will use it against you years later. Say the same in a group of men and it’s forgotten days later.
To innovate, you need to be able to innovate badly. The longhouse suppresses volatility for superficial harmony — welcome to the clone factory
Fair warning: for the sake of your life and soul you have the opportunity to set aside idol worship and with humility give praise and thanks to God and embrace Jesus Christ.
Limited time offer, sincerity and genuine repentance required.

Making people resentful is a first corruption. Making them complicit in a philosophy of crime to justify further abuses is a second application for useful idiots.
Emptying the treasury and framing themselves as heroes. Bad look. Don't let the booty tempt you.
I do not want to raise tamed boys. I want to raise moral boys. There is a difference. To mother boys is to be one of the first voices that tells them what their strength is for, and so I must learn.
Every mother of sons faces a difficult decision:
Do I shape them to fit the world as it is, or do I raise them to reshape the world as it ought to be?
There is a wildness in boys that is not a flaw of creation but a part of it. A gift given by God Himself. A desire to run, to chase, to build, to break, to defend, to explore the unknown and come home covered in dust as if they had conquered the world.
If we kill their spirits for the sake of convenience, for quiet classrooms and tidy living rooms, we may win temporary peace, but the cost is at the expense of a future man. And this truth is prevalent all around us.
The goal of civilization is to direct just 1% of the boundless energy of young men into pro-social ends. Nonetheless, civilizations fail by stamping it out completely or misdirecting it entirely.
