Why do boys play video games instead of riding bikes in structured environments with helmets and pads?

It has been a mystery to me why only girls (including ours) ride bikes around here. All the same streets are here as when I was a kid and not many of the girls wear helmets. The boys only seem to want to ride those silly scooters and skateboards later on. I just built one of my girls a banana seat wheelie bike and she thinks it's neat. The other girl has a Kawasaki dirt bike already. I can think of only one boy around here who could handle that with their lack of bike experience.

My daughter had a CR80 and helped me work on trucks ;) Then F22s. Most of the guys she went to school with still smoke pounds of pot and do nothing.

I asked her a while back what the hell was wrong with them. She said “Dad, their more female than their girlfriends.” they got there because their teachers rammed PCBS down their throats and Hollywood made it cool to be GLBTXYZ.

They have nothing to look forward to a John Wayne type men but scorn and ridicule. So they withdraw into fantasy. And to be honest, I understand why. Not that it’s good right or anything like that. But I understand it.

PS the Daughter has also modeled for hair stuff,,,so she’s not butch ;)

parents complain that their boys stayed indoors most of the time, spent hours on video games

So that I don't fall into that same category, I'm turning off the pc and heading out to work on MY dirt bike!
