Ken is a Eunuch, Not A Real Man

That’s Ken of Barbie doll fame. Dean P. Johnson wrote an interesting piece on the Ken doll for girls and action figures for boys. He concludes that the females, in the end, actually prefer an action figure over Ken. If Johnson is right, that’s a problem for feminists and their efforts to feminize men.

A goal of feminists is the feminization of education, which is a specific technique in the furtherance of a more feminized society.

A different take on what the feminization of education might mean was put forward by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a feminist born in 1860. She envisioned a more democratic society, created through education. Particularly, she envisioned a feminized education system to create a more feminized society, hoping to end gender discrepancies. Education was the way to change society. She stated, in 1911:
To feminize education would be to make it motherly. The mother does not rear her children by a system of prizes to be longed for and pursued; nor does she set them to compete with one another, giving to the conquering child what he needs, and to the vanquished, blame and deprivation. … Motherhood does all it knows to give each child what is most needed, to affectionately and efficiently develop the whole of them.

OK parents. What do you want for your children? You can choose boys that are wimps or boys that will become real men. It’s your choice. Get involved or shirk your parental responsibilities.
