Wimps and Barbarians. The Sons of Murphy Brown. (Long, but good)

The oldest lament in human society- this generation of kids is no good. Every group of adults says that about the current crop of youngsters. Nothing new or incisive here.

These 'wimps and barbarians' are the same group of kids who just overthrew two brutal regimes in the Middle-East. A society that creates men (and women) like that has got to be doing something right.

Any boy who showed any signs of being what this article is trying to call for, would quickly be put on Ritalin and suspended from public schools.

If he made it to college, he would be called a hetero white male Christian, and given D's and F's by lesbian and minority female professors, and would drop out.

The young males become what this article laments, because that is the only way they can survive at all.

Unfortunately, most young women don't seem to think of themselves as potential mothers, nor of men as potential fathers. And even when they "somehow" wind up as parents, many don't understand that this requires them to ... grow up! The problem is that neither gender wants to be what they were intended to be. Both seem to want to be lifelong children, because being either a woman or a man worthy of the title is hard work, and many have been raised to avoid hard work, especially if it doesn't provide immediate gratification.

Good points.
