Have you ever sat back and thought about when babies are born if the baby is a boy he gets blue socks, and if the baby is a girl she gets pink socks. Well to be honest I never did, it was until I started to take a real hard look at domestic abuse/violence and wanted to trace this gender divide as for back as I could that the thought of why blue socks and pink socks came up for me. As I thought about it more and more I started to understand that this divide between boys and girls played a real big role in divide between men and women. From birth boys and girls have been looked at in different ways, now I could understand that from a physical stand point they are, but I am not speaking about the physical body. When I say looked at differently I am speaking in terms of a power dynamic that is placed upon both, the boy is to be stronger and more dominate 'Blue Socks' while the girl is looked at as weaker and more submissive 'Pink Socks'. Now if one is suppose to be stronger 'Blue Socks 'and the other weaker 'Pink Socks' it would be no real surprise to a society that the boundary lines between men and women are blurred. It would be so unfair of me to place blame on one parent the other because both are equal in the process of be life system the child has us. She/he grows up 'please make a note of she/he no he/she'. What I will attempts to do by writing this small book is give it my best shot to bring more of an understanding to what is known as 'Man Rules'. What are man rules; man rules are thought, understandings, and belief thus shape the core belief system of men, these rules are given to young boys and show them how a man should be. Please understand that I do understand that there are things that young boys should be taught that will help them live a very productive life, but what we will look at in this book are the rules that are destructive and lead to abuse and violence.
