The development of the male doesn’t come from following the herd.  This takes great courage, and requires you to separate yourself from the indolent masses.  Becoming a man is more than becoming a biological adult.  Remaining apart of the herd will cause you to remain a child mentally, far too long.  Following the herd will stunt your growth, and prevent you from becoming an adult.

Regardless of what policy or anything else teaches.  This is deeply ingrained in the psyche, and can’t be removed by fiat.  Man has an irreducible core.  This can’t be changed, and must be dealt with accordingly.  The main threat to a boy’s development is statism.  This will rob him of his independence, and will be overcome by the statist complex.  At which point, his chances of becoming an adult are minimized.

The male will become an eternal child.  Some sort of adversity will prevent this.  The state coddling them will not create the adversity required to develop.  A defense against the eternal child must be developed at home.  They will not receive this under the current statist system.  A system designed to produce an obedient mass.  Separation from the herd will be required which will be followed with ridicule.

Don’t adhere to culturally approved channels.  It’s not that there’s anything wrong with having culture.  Following it blindly is the problem.  Following culture blindly causes you to become a parasite.  Rather than analyzing your traditions, you’re sucking for any nourishment.  That nourishment could very well be harmful.  Not only to you, but the boy you want to lead into adulthood.   Individual growth will be stunted.

Rites are not something to be left to statists.   You’re setting up the boy to become an eternal child.  Development of personality is critical in becoming an adult.  This will require you to leave the herd, and think for yourself.  Rites are the antidote to statism.  Femininity is natural.  Manhood must be achieved.  This is where rites step in, and must be taken seriously.  You must add up to something to be a man.
