Whatever happened to “spare the rod and spoil the child”?
The U.S. of A.D.D.
Feminists like to bang on about “toxic masculinity” in wake of atrocities like Charleston. But it’s not masculinity that’s toxic: it’s the chemicals we’re pumping into our young men’s bloodstreams, frying their brains and turning them into washed-out addicts and dissociative lunatics who go out and murder anyone they can easily victimise, particularly girls. As ever, it’s women that feminism hurts the most.
And it’s going to get worse before it gets better – unless we stop drugging our young men and allow boys to be boys.
“ignorant of healthy behavior norms for boys”
That’s one problem. They don’t believe that boys and girls are different. We are.
Enough talking about the problem. Fathers, these are your sons who are being drugged up. UNITE AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
The preponderance of the use of these drugs involved with these mass shootings certainly shouldn’t be overlooked. They’re seldom the only factor but they are a factor.
They are a help to many people but I do think they should be avoided in dealing with young mental health issues.
Excellent article, thanks for posting.
Another thing that goes hand in hand with the over-zealous-feminization and over-medication problem is that -
Society has to butt out of parenting.
Expect parents to be more responsible for their child’s upbringing.
Every time ‘but it’s FOR THE CHILDREN’ excuse is used, it is for the continual expansion of the social workers, not exactly ‘for the children’.
I understand the concern of the article but does the behavior result from the medications OR did the medications not curb the behavior? I know a lot of teens (thanks to my kids) and the % of girls on medications is way beyond the boys %. I am sure ADHD is seen more in boys; however, the girls get scripts for Xanax/Prozac quite liberally. The parents, IMHO, are not doing their job as being THEIR children’s advocates when it comes to ALLOWING drugs into their bodies without really good cause. IMHO.
“lunatics who go out and murder anyone they can easily victimise, “
Which is exactly the case in the Charleston shooting. There are many vicious, angry armed black bigots out there talking war against whitey but this shooter goes into a church full of the meek and mild. Dr. Savage pointed this out on his show yesterday.
My sentiments exactly. I lived in New Zealand from 1982 to 1984 and in the high school (college) I went there, the law still permitted teachers to cane unruly boys. I recall our drafting teacher (who was an Army veteran) as a very decent, very nice and personable man but, still, you gave him offence he’d get out “Old Brutus” and deal with you with six whacks. Looking back, it may have seemed harsh and old fashioned, particularly toward a visiting North American like myself. However, I still think that the cane kept many of us honest for the most part. I do not wish to trivialize things, but I find myself thinking about my experience back then whenever I read discussions of kids (particularly teenage boys) being doped up or medicated, etc and their antics in public high schools today.
Our culture is saturated with that nihilistic philosophy. It is no wonder that the youth are hopeless, restless, and reckless.
I submit that the youth that have mental issues and are under the influence of psychotropic drugs, and having the hopelessness promoted by the prevailing zeitgheist, can be tipped into killing sprees.
I’m so glad I never succumb to the pressure (and it was considerable especially for my oldest) and put my two boys on drugs...18 and 13 now. Neither of them needed it, but I was told by many they did.
>>> It is the increasing sense of isolation and disorientation young boys feel in a world that now feels architected against them. <<<
You can also add ‘single parent families’ to this mix. A boy needs a male figure as an example — even if it’s a bad example — now that society accepts concepts like ‘baby daddies’ and ‘gay families.’
That was one of my earlier questions two days ago.
(1) Do young girls get over-medicated, perhaps not as frequently as boys, too?
(2) How do young girls / young women cope with the same condition as these young men going through?
(3) What kind of future trend from young women’s reactions we should expect?
Do the drugs have the same effects on boys as they do girls?
Female mass shooters are a rarity if they even exist.
Testosterone is a powerful drug all by itself, adding psychotropic drugs to the mix just isn’t good. I know a 60 year old man who has been manic depressive his whole life but no longer uses the drugs because he doesn’t need them.
The testosterone levels fall and things just don’t matter as much later in life.
Hell, the priests in my high school routinely swatted us with wooden paddles. Of course, this was way back in the mid 1960s.
The CPS has made it where we can’t discipline our children. The schools removed prayer and demonized Christians,removing morality, replacing it with relativism. The MSM, the president, Soros, Sharpton and the NAACP contually stoke the fires of racism and discord in the U.S., and the high crime rates of black men which continually reinforces a negative image certainly doesn’t help. Add youth and psychtropic drugs which loose inhibitions and you have a moltov cocktail of rage.
There’s so much more to it than drugs. It starts with the family - this kid has a weird family starting with a father who marches around with tattoos and nipple rings and who apparently gave him enough cash to let him buy anything he wanted without supervision. It starts with broken families, one-parent households, reality tv and movies which feed the imaginations of people without much money or education - and who have a healthy disdain of even a high school degree. When are the elites going to focus some time on white working class kids? Black brats get tons of help and white working class kids are treated like trash.
