Glad to hear this coming from a woman. I rant about this all the time. Unfortunately, the dropout rate among boys continues to grow.

I’m as much a man as any man was or ever will be.
I don’t care what is expected of men only what I expect of myself.
I treat women as they should be and they had better act like the women I expect them to be.
Don’t expect me to be anything but what I am for you will be either amazed or disappointed, depending upon your view and outlook on live.
I am a man. F*ck you! I don’t bloody give a damn what you think or expect.
I am !

“Boys can't fight - someone might get hurt.”

That's the whole point...if your intent isn't to maim and disfigure your opponent, then stay on the porch with the girls.

I must make a confession, my life as a kid was a lonely existence...none of the mothers in my neck of the woods would allow their boys to play with me, I was too rough. The other boys ALWAYS went home with a bloody nose.
My dad taught me to fight right out of the womb and I enjoyed it, we were a wrestling and boxing family.

But I was a pariah in my neighborhood, and even my own mother thought that I was too violent.
Then as a young man, I joined the United States Marine Corps
and I thought that I had died and gone to pugilist heaven.

All is well now, and I have my self esteem back /s. I've been teaching kids the art of martial combat for years now in my garage...my nephews dubbed it “Uncle Mark's School of Death. My point is, if boys aren't taught to be rough when needed, then we'll end up with an emasculated culture, like we have at the present. MEN, afraid to stand up to Obama, because it hurt their approval ratings. Ha! I'd send that little Kenyan usurper home with a bloody nose!

. . . Boy Scout meeting for my son who had been recently promoted to Boy Scout from Weeblos . . .

Anybody who has been in the Scouts knows it is Webelos.

Kim du Toit had an interesting essay piece in 2003 entitled The Pussification of the Western Male.

He didn't mince words.

Here's a year 2000 VIDEO on the government funded attack against men through restraining orders.

Here are some things you can do about it. Keep your boys around their most important male role models, Dad, Grandpa, Uncles, Coaches (but not alone with them unless you are sure the sons know all about “bad” men no matter who they are) as often as you can.

Do not bash men with your friends, women. Your kids are listening. Don’t purchase all of the many male-bashing greeting cards. It’s OK to joke about men if you also joke about women equally and are affectionate about it.

Do not join churches, synagogues, and other family gathering places that are run by women. As soon as women start running the place, the men leave or do not participate. (This is a gross generality so check for exceptions too!)

Also remember that SOME feminization of boys lately has to do with a lot of plastics and estrogenic chemicals polluting our environment, especially their mothers’ wombs. This is not the fault of societal man-bashing and it’s not their fault. Research estrogenic pollutants and try to keep your lives free of as many as is possible.

Teach your boys how to shoot. Then teach them to ride a bike. They get experience in proper handling of firearms at that early age and they will be immune to feminization.

"...they want to dominate men, and then when they succeed at that, they hate the men they dominate"

Spirit of Jezebel....

"When he realizes who he is, he's already married to a demanding, pushy wife."

I've also noticed that demanding, pushy wives are invariably spendaholics. There must be exceptions, I've just never seen one.

i noticed this early on when i moved from boston to no. virginia (’87 to ‘95). the feminized men started appearing mostly around the early 90s, probably coinciding with the incoming liberal horde from the clinton admin. a friend from boston came down around ‘94 and she asked why all the guys were so girly... “liberals” is all i said.

it boils down to the male desire to couple with females, and the liberal American female demand for docile men. either give them what they want, or move on. which was fine for me... but when the environment of available women goes liberal heavy, the pickin’ start getting mighty slim. hence the move to florida (that, and i couldn’t handle the bs i was seeing/hearing at the time)

if American women ever wonder why American guys like Asian women... it’s because they’re feminine. they bathe. they shave. they smell nice. they comb their hair. they are polite. they aren’t fat. they aren’t mean & nasty. they don’t dress slutty. and they don’t sleep around (not that i have heard/seen, anyhow)

also, i live in florida... socks are considered formal wear and strictly taboo with sandals (unless you’re a fruit)

or play King of the Hill

I can see that. Probably too many fights over who gets to be Boomhauer.

I leaned over to my husband and whispered, "There's not a single male role model in this room."

What an insult! Her husband isn't a male role model? Or was he not in the room? Was she leaning over to talk to him on a speakerphone or something?

natural boyish behavior was supressed and they were made to learn French.

Maybe this is supposed to be funny... but there is nothing wrong about learning French. Goodness...

Made to learn French, is girly? What language would be considered manly?

I wear socks with my sandals, do the cooking, help with the dishes, and have a lisp.

But for some reason, nobody ever calls me effeminate.

(Posting from an undisclosed location in Wisconsin where I have led my family on a 55-mile bike ride.)

As far as your article goes, click here.

Cheers!

Gotta vent here...

I see kids today riding bikes with so much padding on they look like Darth Vader. Helmets, knee pads, elbow pads, etc. I was talking with a friend I have known since the third grade and we carried golf clubs, baseball gloves, bats, balls, hockey sticks, school books and a myriad of other things on our bikes.

We never once wore a helmet. If we fell, we got back up on the bike and kept going. Kids today are pansies.

what’s “tackle soccer”? Sounds fun.

This gave me a laugh though:
“I looked around the room and shivered. I leaned over to my husband and whispered, “There’s not a single male role model in this room.””

Wonder how that made her husband feel.

Quote: Manly men liked us, and we where happy being pretty, wearing dresses and makeup, being good mommies and wives, and often managing work.

I completely agree that masculinity needs to be salvaged from the wrekage brought on by liberal “me first, but recognise my feelings” attitude. However, as a woman I take offence to the statement I quoted above. We do not exist to satisfy men. I am a TRUE CONSERVATIVE, and I don’t appreciate ANYONE telling me what I should or should not be doing. Be it 0 or anyone else, nobody tells me what to do. My life is great because I choose to make it that way, not because someone tells me what’s appropriate or acceptable. If you like being given the definition of “woman” by someone, go ahead and join the dems, they love to tell people what’s acceptable. I’ll continue to celebrate my FREEDOM as a citizen of The USA!!!

As a single mom I say this: stay away, you’re holding 50% of the country from being taken seriously about everything that’s wrong right now!!!!!

Just one time... Just one time I forgot to take my socks off before my sandals on the beach.
