A man's heart was not made for this sit up straight sit still and shut up society that we have created. Did you know that boy's are 3-4 times more likely to be diagnosed with ADD or ADHD than girl? Is that just a coincidence or is there another reason for things being that way? Eldredge says that we are rewarded in our classrooms growing up for what I like to call 'statue' behavior and that is sad. Boy's are designed for more physical activities which use more muscle movements and in our society they are punished for it. I do though believe in a good education, but why can't we be allowed to fidget in our seat teacher!
This part may shock you, but in this chapter Eldredge tells us of one incidence where a boy's manhood was actually and physically stripped of him. This case takes place in the 70's where a baby boy who had surgery and the surgeons accidentally removed his penis! That might not be the part that shocked you just wait. After the penis was accidentally removed the doctors had this great plan to give the boy a sex change!!!! I could not believe when I read this part, I was furious and shocked! The doctors simply said what's the difference male or female what's the difference? they are interchangeable they said. This is an extreme example of our society believing that we shape a mans heart and to a point it does, but God had plans for that boy and every boy that is unlike the opposite sex. That boy will never understand what it's like to really be a man now because those people took that away from him.
