Has The Rise Of Women Turned Men Into Boys?

What is with this "teaching a son how to be a man" shit? Did you guys dad sit you down every night at 9 and give you lessons?

"My dad wasn't around" is no excuse at all.



Get a job and take care of your wife and kids properly.

Don't need a rocket science, and you certainly don't need a dad to show you how to do that.

 

Someone doesn't know the difference between raise and rise.

 

Technically you are right, but it is just not as simple as you are making it. Trust me. I worked and volunteered for non-profit orgs for many years that deal with "at risk youth".

Many young men today just have no concept of a healthy relationship or what being a man is outside of coming over to his girl's house, getting some sex and leaving. And other times they may have witnessed their mothers get beaten by their boyfriends. This is what they saw growing up.

These young men I worked with did not see a man bringing flowers on Valentine's Day. They didn't have dad to take them to baseball practice and teach them the experience of winning, losing and the importance of working as a team. They didn't have a man at home to be an example of hard work.

I grew up with both of my parents in the house and my parents are still married today. I can tell you that my father was absolutely my hero and he shaped my outlook on life in more ways than I even knew. He was there to shut me down when I was being a brat and tell me to "man up" when I needed to. No, he didn't sit with me every night and tell me how to be a man, but he showed me how each and every day by example. And that way I could distinguish nonsense from the real thing

It is for this reason above all, I fought tooth and nail to get custody of my sons during the divorce and they live with me now.

 

Thanks Tam

 

Prolonged adolescence as another symptom of an affluent society? Personally I trip off guys who read comic books well into their 30s, but whatever.

Did anyone actually address Hymowitz's thesis?

 

Personally I trip off people who think there's a difference between reading a comic book at 30 and watching movies at 30.


Oh yeah there is, one requires more brain power.

 

Why

Why shouldn't one read comics at 30?

 

That dork up there said he trips off guys who read comics at 30.

I was saying there's nothing wrong with that.

 

Did you read article dumbass? Nothing you've written so far is suggestive of an affirmative answer.

 

Not necessarily true.

I actually agree with him. Its like someone who grew up white the suburbs teaching you what its like being Chinese in Hong Kong.

 

I've said this before but I was raised by two black women who saw it as their mission to turn a pawn into a king as opposed to turning that same pawn into a queen. It took the both of them to do what my own father couldn't do.

 

Fair enough
