Well, I guess you sort of granted me the point about aggression. In fact, I maintain a lot of the PC crap we get shoved down our throats these days is a product of a strong feminine influence in the work place.

I agree, young men aren't pursuing a career as aggressively as they once did. Would any of this have it's genesis in the modern male stereotype? You know, the one where we've gone from a benevolent, wise father figure, (Ozzie Nelson, Andy Griffith, Ward Clever), to the inept, stupid father figure, (Ray Barrone, Homer Simpson, Al Bundy)?

Young men are either demoralized, or lazy, or both, I'm not sure. So, you have a couple of unappealing prospects for the future. First, digging ditches all day won't supress a guy's aggression, trust me on that one. Second, if a guy can't get women to notice him because he digs ditches, that won't help calm him down.
With a large number of men in this position, you have the potential for a huge violent crime problem.
I'm not sure what else will happen, but be aware, not all of these undereducated men will be stupid. Hmmmm, intelligent beings with high aggression and low self esteem.
You had better hope things don't go as you so gleefully seem to wish they are headed.

It doesnt matter how smart they are, if they are unskilled and uneducated. OVer the centuries, there have been lots of smart people who were uneducated and unskilled, and they never amounted to much.

I never said I was gleeful, I am an observer. It is not my fault that young men are not getting high paying jobs in new factories, are not going to college, are not going into the military, are not going into law, vetinary science, denistry, or medical school, etc.

Anyways, it doesnt matter why males are not going after high paying careers, but they arent - and women will have the money, and the control in the future - like it or not.

Why is it you guys always leave out the positive father figures in modern TV shows when you make these comparisons? Heathcliff Huxtable, Eric Cramden, and Jonathan Kent to name a few always seem to be left out. Ray Barone isn't that much of a bumbling father btw, seems like a fairly realistic portrayal to me.
