List of voters for the quote

John Eldredge: Earlier cultures understood that there's a warrior in the heart of a boy, right? And you take that and you shape it to be good, right? To serve others, right? To serve what is right and noble. But you don't tell them it's bad. You don't just take it away, and, you know? And so, "Well, we don't let Timmy play with guns," right? "We... we don't want our sons doing that. Don't play army. Don't do any of that stuff." Absolutely emasculating. Are you kidding me? Of course your kid's gonna play with guns, right? The little boy is wired for it. He's gonna make it out of graham crackers or sticks, right? I mean, my sons turn every broom into a sword, right?, or a bazooka or something like that. It is so deep in the heart of a boy to be the warrior that to... to tell them that aggression's bad - "That's all bad" - is profoundly emasculating. Boys are wired for adventure, and boys are wired for aggression. And aggression is good. I mean, you want a boy to stand up as a man to apartied, right? You want him to stand up to injustice, then he has to have something in him that's learned that there are good forms of aggression.
