> when you grow up

I'm of the opinion that some boys need to be taught how to treat women right, because it doesn't come naturally to them. I'm not sure how we're going to fix this, though, because integrating it into the church doesn't work, and it's too much of a political hot potato to integrate into the traditional school system.

I imagine that some people have to "grow up" too fast if their start-up becomes successful, and it wouldn't surprise me if some of the skills that they should acquire (like learning how to treat women in a professional but friendly manner) end up left by the wayside in the rush to grow the company. (I recall when Mark Zuckerburg had to do lots of public speaking training three or four years ago; he had just made a fool of himself on a late-night talk show and The Social Network was just coming out. Not a perfect analogy, but I can see the parallels of having training in this department, too.)
