Our boys are lab rats in a social engineering experiment

Summary: A marvel of our age is our willingness to enlist our children in radical social engineering experiments. If they fail, we will be judged harshly. By the boys most of all. We will have no excuses. Here’s a small but telling example: putting boys in dresses. Books, films by the BBC, musicals by the Royal Shakespeare Company – everybody is getting on the bandwagon. See the photos!

What if the gender-bending experiment – the drastic revision of historical gender roles – does not end well for our children? What will future generations say about us, people who used their children as lab rats in one of the largest social science experiments in history – acting only on untested theories?

We have drastically changed the way we raise boys. We now drug them with powerful psychotropic drugs for a decade of their childhood (e.g., stimulants such as Adderall and Ritalin, or an amazing array of anti-depressants). Schools force them into unnatural behaviors by eliminating outdoor playtime. Helicopter parents regulate every moment of their lives, from school to lessons to highly-structured sports programs. Instead of teaching them clearly defined gender roles, we teach them to be like girls – and that natural male behaviors are toxic.

Now we take the next, perhaps final step. If a boy shows any confusion about his gender roles, in many schools he is encouraged to take powerful hormones – putting him on a course leading to having his balls cut off.

An experiment

Gender behavior is largely a social construct. Once social pressure was removed, in three generations most women changed their clothing to that of men – wearing traditional outfits only for commercial advantage, to hunt, and for ceremonies. Feminists decided to see the effects of reversing the process, getting boys to wear traditional female outfits. Feminist-dominated institutions, such as grade schools, began experiments on boys. Without bothering to consult the parents. In time we will see the results.

A hit book in Sweden

By Katarina Dahlquist and Annette Skahlberg. Distributed in schools across Sweden. The publisher describes it…

“When Kalle gets a summer break he gets his cousin’s old dress with silver dots. Kalle loves the dress, it is much cooler and more comfortable than his shirt and pants.

“And when he starts school after the summer he refuses to take it off. His teachers complain and his buddies laugh – until the day he scores goals upon goals in a soccer game. Kalle has a genuine goal-making-dress. And now everyone else also wants one.”

Eventually, his Dad wears a dress to see if it can make him better at his job.

The Brits go full gender-bending

David Walliams’ 2008 book The Boy in the Dress is a hit in Britain, pushed by grade-school teachers on their students across the land.

“It tells the story of a twelve-year-old boy who enjoys cross-dressing, and the reactions of his family and friends. It is aimed at readers aged eight to twelve, and is intended to teach children that cross-dressing is a healthy and acceptable hobby and not something to be ashamed of.” {From Wikipedia.}

“Dennis was different. Why was he different, you ask? …Charming, surprising and hilarious …David Walliams’s beautiful first novel will touch the hearts (and funny bones) of children and adults alike. ” {From the publisher.}

The BBC made it into a film (see a glowing review in The Telegraph). The Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) made it into a musical.

“Dennis is 12 years old and his school football team’s star striker. But when Mum leaves home, life is tough. The only reminder Dennis has of Mum is a photo of her in a beautiful yellow dress. A dress like the one on the cover of Vogue on sale at Raj’s newsagents. And also a bit like the one that Lisa James, the coolest girl in the school, is sketching in her notebook. What do you do if you like both football and dresses? And what will Mr. Hawtrey the headteacher do when he discovers that his strict uniform code has been broken by a boy in a dress?” {From the RSC.}

The RSC version makes explicit the link between family instability and gender confusion.

In the real world

Instagram has countless pictures of boys wearing dresses, posted by proud parents.

The likely sad consequences

Feminists – teachers, psychologists, parents, etc. – teach boys that their masculinity is toxic and urge them to adopt feminine traits. Pity the poor boys that listen, only to find that most women prefer to have sex with strong men. Many prefer bad boys (those with Dark Triad traits}. Few choose metrosexuals or men that wear dresses and act like girls.

These boys probably will be collateral damage in the great feminist experiment. Many who were ushered into gender transitions will be afflicted with severe mental health problems (some will commit suicide). Will they be impressed when we justify our actions by saying we had untested theories? Will they ever forgive us?

Thank you for volunteering your child. The experiment will be …interesting!
