“Whoever the kid had been, whoever had the grand attitude, has finally heeded the admonishment of parents, teachers, governments, religions, and the law: "You just change your attitude now please, young man." This transformation in kids - from flashing dragonflies, so to say, to sticky water-surface worms slowly slipping downstream - is noticed with pride by society and with mortification by God, which is a fantastic way of saying I don't like to see kids throw away their truth just because it isn't worth a dime in the open market.” MenWayGovernmentKidsLawYoungParentWaterAttitudeTeacherPridePleaseTransformationSurfaceFantasticYoung ManWormsDimesSlippingStickyMortificationChange Your AttitudeDragonflies Book:I used to believe I had forever, now I'm not so sure Source: I used to believe I had forever, now I'm not so sure
“The deeper purpose of a more positive attitude toward men is a better life for the children who are parented by the men who are their dads and stepdads; less shame for our sons who will become men; and, for our daughters, a deeper understanding of men's desire to please that leaves them feeling their willingness to please is not unrequited but returned - allowing our daughters to feel less lonely and more loved. If we earn more and love less, we pay for a home in which we do not live.” IfsMenFeelsChildrenFeelingsHomeDesirePurposeUnderstandingPayAttitudeHe ManSonDadPleaseDaughterLonelyAnd LoveShameDeeperPositive AttitudeWillingnessAllowingBetter LifeUnrequitedOur DaughterDeeper UnderstandingStepdads Author:Warren Farrell
“Some young people do not sufficiently understand the advantages of natural charms, and how much they would gain by trusting to them entirely. They weaken these gifts of heaven, so rare and fragile, by affected manners and an awkward imitation. Their tones and their gait are borrowed; they study their attitudes before the glass until they have lost all trace of natural manner, and, with all their pains, they please but little.” PeopleLittlesPainYoungLostHeavenNaturalAttitudeStudyPleaseGainsAdvantageGlassesMannersToneCharmAffectedFragileAwkwardImitationBorrowedGait Author:Jean de la Bruyere

“That's a very privileged attitude and I think the ignorance is so strong there. When people say, "Oh please, I don't want to hear that conversation," it's because it makes them uncomfortable." But that's because they think it's all okay. If it was racist, I would move onto someone whose mind I could change, but it's mostly ignorance. So when someone says, "Oh, it doesn't matter," I not only make designers responsible but casting directors and modeling agencies for not pushing those other girls on to the designers.” PeopleIfsThinkingWantMindMatterMovingGirlStrongAttitudeIgnorancePleaseDirectorsConversationOkayResponsibleUncomfortableAgencyDesignerRacistPushingPrivilegedCastingModelingOther GirlCasting Directors Author:Bethann Hardison
