This book assumes that all boys are the same and that they are all stereotypical. It also assumes that if your son plays with dolls, likes pink, wears his mother's shoes when he's like 3 he will grow up and be GAY.

Yes, folks, let your son do girly, girl things and he'll be out in some gay club wearing chaps with his butt hanging out looking to score.

NO THAT'S NOT EVEN GOING TO HAPPEN! Do NOT take child rearing advice from a man who thinks it's OK to go after dogs with belts and to torment small children over the slightest little thing into submission.

I haven't finished the book Real Boys, but so far it's good and acts like boys are complex people and not just stereotypes. But real people with emotions, feelings and needs.

Mir Ugh. So many people think this way, it's so sad.


Spider the Doof Warrior Ugh. I didn't even get into him hitting kids so much enough. He makes me so MAD. I will never raise kids like that.

Jyanx Awful stuff. I feel for boys whose parent's raise them like this. He should be stuck with their therapy bills.

Mir The cover image says, "Dogs are important for boys because dogs and boys give one another mutual affection while everyone else yells at them and beats them."
