because the writer had a boy she was teaching when she wrote it. Lots of classic books with boys as main characters. There is a list of books on the site. Ds enjoyed every book we read, except for the one on Greek Mythology, but he's just not into that.

I think MFW is neutral, definitely not girly. We have only done EXP-1850 and 1850-MOD so far with MFW. They do have a LOT of missionary focus throughout the curriculum and a lot of missionaries are men. You get to pick your books with the LA course if you use Progeny Press, so you get to choose those books.
