What happened to boys? Hippies.
No..feminism. Boys are devalued. Not only that, but they get incredibly mixed messages from the media. Girls, on one hand are told they are awesome from morning until night.. Boys, on the other hand, are told they are pigs. But then, they put on their TV’s and radios, and they are inundated with messages filled with sex. Then, when they actually do something, they are arrested, suspended, ridiculed and mocked. I would rather be anything than a young man today.
They’ve been told since birth not to be what they are - boys. Don’t act up. Don’t fight. Don’t be rambunctious. Don’t do this, don’t do that blah blah blah. Basically, grow up to be girls with different body parts.
And someone wonders why the end result is a generation of weak kneed passive boys?
Some people...just plain dumb.
Go back to the television shows of the early 70’s and you can clearly see the transition from male boys to girly boys.
You can also see the role reversal of mom and dad that sissified the little brats.
When boys quit playing battle with little plastic solders and switched to male dolls, it was the beginning of the end.
One of the main reason is the increase in the feminine aspect of personality of boys as a result of the increase in the masculinity of their mothers.
Young children need to bond with the mother’s feminine energy in order to stabilize their consciousness and establish a solid foundation for life. Lack of a feminine mother results in a lack of emotional bonding. The work of Mary Ainsworth and John Bowlby’s “Attachment Theory” explains this.
