How They Broke The Boys

Back in July, the now-infamous Tea app had surpassed ChatGPT in downloads.

What is the Tea app? “Tea is a women-only app where users anonymously share info and warnings about men to spot red flags and get feedback.” If you’ve ever scrolled through the Facebook group “Are We Dating the Same Guy?” this is that, but entirely anonymous.

“Why aren’t men approaching women anymore?”

If you ask any young guy this question, he will look you in the face and ask, “Are you dumb?”

Anyone who’s paid even half attention to the dating scene for twenty-somethings knows it’s a wasteland. “All girls are hoes,” a 21-year-old boy tells me, blankly. Meanwhile, stunning 23-year-old women have never once been … asked to dinner?

What happened?

I’m a millennial born in the ‘90s. Aka, the last century. Back then, the message was clear: “Girls rule, boys drool.” Girl power reigned supreme. From Powerpuff Girls to She’s the Man, we were spoon-fed the narrative that girls were better.

Stronger. Smarter. In every way. The fact that our national women’s soccer team once lost to a team of teenage boys? It didn’t matter. The message was already embedded.

So think about what that means. Boys grew up being told that girls were superior in every way. That masculinity was toxic. That they were dangerous. That all boys were potential rapists just waiting for their moment to strike.

Of course, evil has always existed. Jezebel. Genghis Khan. Joseph Stalin. It’s not gendered. But what’s new is telling innocent, ordinary boys that they’re born broken. That their very biology is a threat.

We saw this in the lockdowns. Girls' dance conventions made up in the summer. Boys' sport cancelled, no refund. Mayor shut down our fields. I saw girls' dance studios work towards spring conventions on a drive to lunch. That message was clear.

ESPN shows women's sport primarily on Sundays.

And we see a push by Title IX to end boys' sport using activism. We see television hating boys. The message is clear.

The WNBA is promoted all the time. I refuse to watch.

[dfwgator]

ESPN usually features women’s soccer on their front page.

[ClearCase_guy]

From what I see today — Women are lonely. Men are alone. There is a big difference between those two statements.

Women played the game badly and they lost and they are alone and lonely. Many men consider themselves to be big winners. They are alone and happy with themselves and their hobbies. Dodged a bullet, they did.

My wife agrees it is horrible especially in institutions now subverted. In essence however she implies I better read Isiah 3 as men have been warned about being ruled by kids and women before. It is what we men have allowed to happen. We can change it.

[Fledermaus]

It’s 2025. Ask the men out ladies.

[jasonandtheb]

TV commercials reflect this. They usually show the male as weak, confused, and needing a woman to help them. Pathetic. Consider retaliating by not purchasing the advertised product.

[Tell It Right]

If I wasn’t into the Lord I’d certainly watch women’s beach volleyball if ESPN aired it

[WhiteHatBobby0701]

Graduated from a college where the men’s teams didn’t make postseason and women’s teams do.

[Mariner]

I assure you, there’s a few guys out there doing very, very well.

[1Old Pro]

The WNBA is promoted all the time. I refuse to watch.

They made a mistake. Instead of highlighting Caitlin they allowed the opposing players rough her up. Nobody got time for that.

[Billthedrill]

Opting out is not being “broken”. It’s simply a refusal to play what is perceived as a crooked game.

This opinion piece totally ignores the effect of pornography on the minds of the young. A great many young men are unfit as husbands and fathers because of their pornography habits.

[No name given]

True.

[No name given]

That’s the sad truth.

[dfwgator]

Hugh Hefner deserves a lot of the blame.

[Salamander]

I wound up widowed

I’d love to have a male buddy to help me do and lift the stuff can’t anymore and just generally be a friend to talk to and be good company.

I’m entertaining as hell.

No guy is really into that I’m really not much on women friends as I can’t relate to them.

Can’t find any women who like talking about cars, guns, woodworking, etc

My dad raised me and he had nothing to say about knitting, cooking, etc so I’m kind of a freak of gender.

A local pastor wants to get me into her widows church group.

I have no idea what I’d even begin to say to them.

I don’t reckon they’d want me to teach them to properly skin a deer.

😑

[TexasFreeper2009]

If I want to watch bad players, I would rather watch a local high school game than a bunch of grown lesbian women

[Languager]

It’s not all the women: it’s the white middle class women who are causing all the problems and getting all the press like this. If you notice many more mixed race couples these days, with a white guy and a latina or asian woman, this is why. These latter ladies are much more likely to have the kind of family values that men find appealing.

Of course there are exceptions on both sides, lol :-)

[Antoninus]

Boys may be broke.

But girls are an absolute trainwreck. Seriously. The majority of them (as in +50%) are in mental health care.

Our public institutions have utterly failed the youth, turned them into mentally ill disasters, and then told them they were just "different" and to "celebrate their differences."

The answer? Stable marriages need to have as many kids as they can reasonably afford and homeschool them. The public institutions will never be reformed from the inside. They must have reform imposed upon them by outsiders of good will who won't take "no" for an answer.
