Focus On The Family’s James Dobson asks: "Is Your Son Glad To Be A Boy?" and then answers his own question with an apparaent "no".

He starts off with some supposedly true anecdotes:

"Our son was using our home computer to do some research for a report he’s writing. While doing a search, he accidentally stumbled onto a porn site. He frantically clicked the ‘back’ arrow but couldn’t get out, then panicked. I wish I would have given him permission ahead of time to simply turn off the computer if something like that happened. That was three days ago. He’s still upset.”

DOBSON’S REASON WHY THIS SON IS TROUBLED: "The sexual revolution and radical feminism."

OUR REASON: The kid is so coddled that the site of some nudie pix on the computer traumatizes him for weeks.  He becomes so paralyzed by the images that he can’t think to turn off the computer unless he has parental permission!

"I’m concerned about the way the media portrays men. My husband and son can’t watch a sports event on television without being barraged with inane commercials that sexually exploit and yet glamorize women, then make men look like idiots. Hitting the mute button doesn’t help. The ridiculous images still flash across the screen.”

DOBSON’S REASON WHY THIS SON IS TROUBLED: "The negative content prevalent in most mass media."

OUR REASON:  The screams of panic that a father exhibits in front of his son as he scrambles to hit all the buttons on the remote control simply because Homer Simpson appears on the television.

"My son had the saddest look on his face when he came home from school today. I asked him what happened. He says his teacher doesn’t like any of the boys in his class. She has repeatedly reprimanded my son for being too rambunctious. Now, he’s deathly afraid he is going to fail second grade.”

DOBSON’S REASON WHY THIS SON TROUBLED: "The favoritism shown to girls in public schools."

OUR REASON:  The whininess he exhibits he’s expected to behave in school.
