Raising Men

Book •
Doug Wilson's 'Raising Men' presents a framework for parenting boys that emphasizes physical toughness, male authority, and strict gendered roles consistent with his broader complementarian and theonomy-adjacent views.

The book promotes cultivating traditionally masculine traits and minimizing maternal influence in boys' adolescent development.

It has been influential in certain conservative Christian homeschooling and church communities, shaping approaches to discipline and gender expectations.

Critics argue the book encourages abusive discipline and unhealthy gender dynamics, linking it to broader harms in high-control religious environments.

Supporters view it as a corrective to perceived cultural softness and a guide to raising godly men.
