One of the many exciting things happening out here at KIVU is our intentional training of the guys. Most places just allow for guys to be guys, and whatever trends the world sets up is what they gleen as 'normal behavior.'
Each opening day I tell the fellas, "I don't care how you talk about girls back home, this is a place where we're going to re-train you to respect the ladies." They look at me in wonderment, mostly because they've never been challenged to think that way, but they wonder how we're going to pull this off.
We start by making sure they respect the ladies when they eat. They have to make sure the ladies go first, they serve the ladies, and they are pressured to understand how valuable a lady is in their life. There's no place here for feminist slander. We want to make sure the ladies understand how much we appreciate them.
Some might call it a throwback to the golden days.
Others might call out some kind of feminism.
But we just want to make sure, out of no other motive than respect, when the guys show up, the ladies can be confident they are going to value them.
The same rule applies to the ladies, but I'll write more on that later.
Another reason KIVU is the place to be, as we try and train the next generation to care for one another.
