Hello everybody and welcome back to making the argument. Recently, I spoke at a homeschool convention in South Carolina and one of the topics I spoke on was raising sons and specifically raising your sons to one day be the sort of dangerous men that their family are going to require. Now, some of the things I advocate for are probably a little bit controversial within this culture.

But when you look at the sort of masculinity that this culture has produced, I guess you got to ask yourself the question, do you want what's popular or do you want what works? And that's what we discussed

about. It was a, again, a great, great discussion and answered a lot of questions from the audience.

I hope you will enjoy it.

Here it is, raising sons to be the dangerous dads their families require.

Okay, so I'm sitting there with my wife, my two daughters, and my son, and my son's about

seven, right, at this time time and we're watching this movie

called real steel now if you've never seen it think rocky but with robots so we're watching real

steel and luke's kind of you know he's seven right he's a seven year old little boy so he's kind of like

getting rambunctious and whatnot and i uh look over at Tina, my wife, and I said, hey, babe, do you know what the agogi is?

She goes, what's the agogi?

I said, the agogi is where the Spartans sent their children when they turned seven.

They sent their boys when they turned seven to the

Ogogi. And it was this incredibly brutal exercise that they went through. Think of it as camp,

right, but the kind where you could die at it. And this was the beginning of their training to become

Spartan warriors. And she goes, okay.

And I look over at Luke. I'm like, hey, buddy, come here.

Because we're watching a boxing movie, right?

So hands up, hands up, guard your face, let's go.

And he's moving around.

And we'd kind of like wrestled before and rough and tumble and the whole deal.

And this time, I got him.
