Different Choice

    Today we'll listen to a song I didn't write.  It's by my friend Stuart Stotts who plays one of the dads on my CAMPING WITH DADS album.  It's called "Different Choice".  The hidden messages we learn about male privilege and entitlements are so subtle and deeply woven into the cultures we grew up with, that it's difficult to "tease" them out of the fabric of our childhood.  CAMPING WITH DADS is designed to bring them out into the light of day on our musical camping expedition.  Stuart models the courage, the love, the perseverance and understanding that a caring Dad might use to help his kids learn that they don't have to do the first thing that pops into their heads when something comes up.  They can pause, and survey other ideas they might have about how best to proceed in any given situation. We want our boys to consider the range of consequences their behaviors might create, especially those involving girls or young women.  Those consequences need to include what the other person feels, and what the results of his behavior might bring upon her.  So like Stuart Stotts, let's listen to our kids, and as world citizens, consider the consequences of actions we take that aren't working, and come up with a 'Different Choice'.
