Throughout his campaign, Donald J. Trump has displayed a particular type of hyper masculinity — the man who is proud not to apologize and to have never changed a diaper; who views “loser” as the ultimate insult; who bonds with other men by objectifying women.
It’s especially striking because today’s schools and workplaces try to value something different: empathy, impulse control and collaboration. For three decades, jobs that require these social skills have grown much more than others, researchers have found. They say one reason that boys are more likely than girls to get in trouble in school and are less likely to graduate is that a narrow definition of masculinity can stunt their ability to develop these skills.
If there is a silver lining to Mr. Trump’s views on manliness, it’s that it has prompted a national discussion about the “boys will be boys” excuse for things like bullying, boasting or appraising women in crassly sexual terms. That has offered an opportunity for parents and teachers to make clear what behavior is unacceptable. Michelle Obama, in an emotional speech on Thursday, asked what message Mr. Trump’s words and behavior sent not just to girls, but also to men and boys.

I PRAY he Prevails and changes their little snowflake minds.
Decimated Gens X & Y. Not to worry though, the plan, (Her's), is border free hemisphere to continue replacing our own murdered with diversity. Woohoo!!! Not.
My son was once hit by a girl his age, and her parents laughed. Later, when she did it again, and after my instructions, he hit her back. Her parents were shocked, SHOCKED that he would do that, and the girl never hit him again.

Of course when it comes to “muslims will be muslims” excuse, the MSM squelches the “national discussion” that should be arising about the chauvinistic PIGS that Obama is wanting to import by the hundreds of thousands from the middle east...
My dogs would be more than happy to tag the NYT, should that option be presented on the way to chasing Geese off the lawn...
I’d rather have my son emulate Trump, than Hillary, Obama or Jay-Z!
Well, Miss Claire Miller of the New York Times, what are they learning from Bill and Hill?
They are learning earlier in life now that Pussy does not really mean a Kitty Cat.
meh
Wimpy men and alpha women are concerned....oh noes
Learning the system is rigged against them and that they should do something about it?
Just ridiculous!
As a mother of three, two of them are boys, I see NO difference in their behavior than I did in the past.
Parenting starts at home and it is OUR job to teach our children how to behave towards others.
Nice try by the author to deflect parental responsibility!
Oh, BTW..Mr. Trump DID apologize for his words several times.
The thing I am learning from all of this is that Leviticus 20 was sound advice and that you don’t let liberals breed.
Donald Trump is teaching out boys that the wussification thy are feeling is coming from liberals.
Hopefully they are learning to fight.
Gee my comment on NYT was pending but now gone.
“You let them watch politics and news? BTW, what do they think of the BLM protesters? Oh, make sure you let them see the new Project Veritas video showing the DNC operatives that caused the Chicago Trump rally protest. You know, the one where two police officers get injured - paid for by the DNC/Clinton campaign.”
“today’s schools and workplaces try to value something different: empathy, impulse control and collaboration” HAHAHA Maybe in a Parallel Universe somewhere, and SECONDLY, if so, IT IS NOT WORKING!
‘...“Don’t worry, I am sure a President Clinton will have our backs — just like in Benghazi.”’
Good retort. Also, perhaps they should consider who the current CnC and First Lady invite to perform at OUR White House. Songs of Rap ‘artists’ often contain vulgar language and words demeaning to women. Also, what of Beyoncé’s attire...or lack thereof...and her ‘dance moves’? Are these good role models for young people?
What about what Bill C. taught our kids about sex?
