“and the silly, shallow, limp wristed,video game playing “men” that we seem to be producing in this country...they get their sexual release from magazines and online porn....they can’t connect with real women...”

Oh, they connect with them. They’re just not all that dynamic once they’re married. Have a friend who married a guy like this. Here they are newlyweds and yet all he does is game all day! I’m sorry, I would throw a wall eyed FIT over that one. He works for a living, but that’s about it.
They haven’t started with kids yet because he’s “just not ready.” (He’s almost 30 for crying out loud). I feel sorry for her. Then again, No, I don’t. She chose that existence and seems to enable it.
I know couples (with either very young children or grown children) who game together; they actually bond with it. As a former gamer myself (from 1980s arcades, not the home systems) there are certainly worse things people can do. As a father I don’t like seeing the kids play too much, and I get them out hiking bright & early (weather permitting) no matter how much they kick & scream.
Single guys I know “connect” with real women all the time; they simply don’t want to get married, and the women are permissive enough so they don’t have to. I can never understand why women who give it away so easily (to the point of co-habitating) are complaining; they are the enablers of this subculture that is rapidly becoming THE culture.
