Today's devotional in Table Talk addresses homosexuality. Quite a contrast. I'll write more later today.

The segment about the twins made me want to vomit. What a disgusting world we live in where a mother would let her little boy paint his fingernails pink and have stars and rhinestones on them.

"Mom, can I have a Barbie?"

"No, they're for girls."



What an awful idea it is to induldge a child's every bent! We are fallen and sinful!

Well, I just sat down to comment more on this issue, in great detail. However, you've just summed it up nicely. I couldn't agree with you more!

EXACTLY my thought!

Exactly.

Hey don't knock Barbie for boys!

When I was young and imaginary Nazis were sneaking into my yard and I didn't have time to get to my toy box to grab a pistol, I would just grab one of my sisters Barbies. Holding Barbie by the shoulder and aiming her legs and feet at the Nazis it only took a half second for Princess Barbie to transform into a blue steeled 45 caliber equalizer. Once the bloodied bodies of the Nazis lay lifeless in the yard, I returned the doll to my sister who was by now tattling to my mom. She should have thanked me for protecting her from Hitler's minions. Girls!

Society is eroding (has eroded) the differences between men and women. I have 4 children, one on the way. My first is a girl and the rest are boys. My daughter is in no way a "tom boy" so she has dolls, barbies, et. My younger sons in order to play have played "family" together using barbies, et.

Rather than try to prohibit their play time together I introduced male dolls, Ken, G.I. Joe, and monsters for the boys. They quickly gravitated to those. Of course, my daughter thought it was fun to dress the boys up in princess costumes which I put an end to. At some level, this is just childplay.

At another level it is the responsibility of parents to train their children in the way they should go. This certainly includes teaching them the fear of the Lord. It also includes teaching them gender roles and what is femine and masculine. When my son expressed an interest in ballet because my daughter was taking lessons, I forbid it. Other parents looked at me as pig-headed and ancient. I looked at the ratio of boys to girls in that sport. 10 girls to 1 boy.

I know he will thank me later in life when there are no pictures of him tip-toeing around a stage in spandex. lol I encourage and steer my boys to manly activities and duties. Around the house they are the muscle for mom and their sister. They are encouraged to be protectors of their family and home. They are being trained to be leaders with strength, compassion, and resolve. They are taught that it is their duty to honor God and defend their homeland.

Contrary to popular sentiment, they are taught soldiering is for boys, not girls. My daughter is trained in the art of homemaking, mothering, and that men are scum (sorry, daddy reaction). jk

She is taught that loving a husband and having children are high and honorable virtures, not supression. She is taught that raising a family is a higher calling than advancing a career. She is taught that a man that doesn't work hard to support a family is a girly-man and not worth 2 seconds of her attention. She is taught these things mainly by how I treat my wife. (God help me).

May the Lord help us all raise godly children with biblical gender roles and shun the absurd feminizing of men and the masculinizing of women.

BobVigneault;



My son used to do something similiar with his sisters barbies..but then he would also have the 'barbies' go on dates with His G. I. Joe's and Action Jackson...or have G.I. Joe and Action Jackson fight over the girl or protect her from various attacking alien bugs out in the yard..

When I kept Silent, My bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. Psalm 32:3

I debated whether or not I should share this but here goes.

My daughters, 6 and 12 are constantly stealing my son's (3) GI Joe dolls and marrying them off to Barbie and friends. Recently I went down to their play area where my son had been playing with the dolls. I looked in the Barbie van and there was GI Joe in the van with 6 of Barbie's friends. (Whispering: Joe wasn't wearing a stitch of clothing.)

I'm not worried because my son still tends toward a clothing optional philosophy - we're working on that. However, I'm not taking any chances and I won't be letting him have any unsupervised get togethers with the opposite sex until he's 30.
