Your observations are right on and I would sure hope that more women begin to pay increased attention to this social conditioning and how it will affect relationships for our future generations. We must be very concerned for our young men and their self esteem but folks with young daughters need to especially aware of what's going on if they hope to someday have their daughter marry a confident, intelligent, hardworking young man that will give her a good life.

It is unfortunate that this is happening today. I have three daughters, and I can see these trends reflected in the way they see their father. They seem to think that adult males are idiots. Also, among teenage girls, boy bashing is very big. Everything from t-shirts to socks bash males. I have to always take a strong stance when approaching this with them and get lots of arguments because it is such the "IN" thing. It is really sad. I always looked up to my dad as a strong male role model. I still do today...even after losing him eight years ago.
