80's Blog : Heroes
March 4th 2008 08:38
I’ve touched on heroes a few times already on this blog, and will continue to in the future.
But, apparently that’s not really allowed anymore.
Yesterday I read an article in the paper about a women and her Batman loving son.
Firstly she explained how she’s against superheroes and encouraging a view of goodies VS baddies. Good VS Evil.
You’re kidding me right?
That is exactly what we need more of! Enough of this baby boomer hippy love solution it’s time to throw away the feminine EMO boys and make superheroes out of them!
In case you think otherwise, I am deadly serious.
She went on to explain her fears at encouraging violence, which is validated, but over emphasized. Young boys have been battling it out since time began. That’s how you learn and
Do I tell the dogs off for wrestling in the yard? Hell no I don’t.
Because do you know what happens if they don’t get it out? 10 years later they slit their wrists, or take a machine gun to school...okay, dogs wouldn’t do anything that crazy.
Anyway, she finally realised that her son should be able to like Batman, and bought him a cape and mask.
But...apparently after he presented it to the kindergarten class at show & share (they are no longer allowed to tell anymore either...) it was taken from him, because playing superheroes is banned - but making mud cakes is the norm.
Well, I’d rather my son grow up to be Bruce Wayne than Jamie Oliver.
We need crime fighters. We need heroes.
Do you know why they didn’t have conscription for WWII? Because everyone wanted to be a hero and fight for their family and friends.
Contrary to popular belief, there are worse things to happen to a person than dying.
I’m not saying they need to be testosterone fueled Rambo-nutters, but you can be Clark Kent with Superman tucked away if the situation arises.
Men – teach your sons to be men.
Women – let them be men!
