As I have been thinking about our discussion on gender roles, and gender roles in the family. Something that occurred to me was saying that we need to raise our boys more like our girls, and that we all need to be equal is in direct opposition to God and his plan for his children. We each have specific roles and by changing some of those we are slowly destroying the family. For example men have a duty to provide, preside and protect their families and if we are raising them more like girls than more and more boys won't be capable of fulfilling their duties. They won't know how to work with their wives in presiding over the family. They won't be capable of providing for a family, because they weren't raised to do those things, they weren't taught that those things are their duties.
