So which has the most power. Your programming from childhood or your natural dominant or feeler
Natural tendencies?
Interesting question Ranger.
One that no one has asked but a very important one.
There r 2 passives and 2 dominants. Both these traits is predetermined during conception. By who? I don't know. Take a guess ? I say it's within the DNA coding per natural selection.
Passives are the expressive and the intellectuals.
Dominants are the motivators and the doers.
The passives will be more susceptible to programming even after critical thinking is present that's starts at the ages of perhaps 11 (I'm guessing base on experience and observations).
These are the group of men that will be mostly affected throughout their lives.
The dominants will rebel towards programming after critical thinking starts around the ages of 11 and ends at early 20's. Rebel doesn't equates rejection. So while they might rebel and reject some programming, they will be predisposed to accept masculine programming by their very inherent nature. Absent masculine presence, these boys might accept the feminine version of masculinity.
These are the group of men that has it the easiest in life if a male presence is dominant in their formative years but also the hardest hit when without.
However, both dominants and passives cannot rebel or fight the programming that took place during the ages of 0 to 8. Critical thinking during that ages is not present yet as the brain is still at its infancy and going through its formative growth.
Do be reminded that full critical thinking is only possible when the brain has finished it's formation - early 20's is my estimation.
The answer to your question then Ranger, it depends entirely on the above variables and which fits in into what. But by then the answer will be obvious.
