Well, I'd say we have plenty of good examples to choose from. The problem is getting them some "face" time for boys to see.
Might I suggest this as a good starting place for a fine example to ALL young men in this country of a "real" man:

Terrific. While China and India continue to churn out more engineers and scientists, our educational system is busy trying to find politically correct ways to drive members of an entire gender away from a college education.
Fortunately, we live in a time when the Internet makes so much learning available for free that formal education is becoming superfluous, anyway.
Time to launch the 'Malenist' movement!
PS: Er, what would the male counterpart to 'feminist' be?
No, dont gimme those stereotyped-with-negative connotations terms like 'patriachical', or 'male-dominated' etc. please!
The current system of feminizing boys, calling any boys with energy ADD and other forms of political correctness is leading to an age where boys are either wimps or thugs. There is no room left for the man who is strong and virtuous. Where is today's John Wayne, or even Jimmy Stewart. They are viewed as relics of a bygone era. So we are left with cultural icons who have dodged murder charges (P Diddy and Snoop Dog) or "sensitive" men.
Ignore the boys and then when they act like boys, put them on Ritalin. Do you know what they used for chemical castration before the development of Dupro-prevera? Guess.
...read please.
Maybe Al Bundy was right... No MA'AM

Much of the gender difference is in the black community where many more women than men go to college.
There are definitely some situations where women have extra rights and this is bad. We should have equal rights for all citizens. but honestly it is still better to be male in this world both in the U.S. and around the world since there are intangible advantages for being male at every level of society.
Frankly, it is more advantageous to be white in spite of all the legal advantages for being black.
Interesting though how many really successful people from both groups do not favor affirmative action...
"Ignore the boys and then when they act like boys, put them on Ritalin. Do you know what they used for chemical castration before the development of Dupro-prevera? Guess."
Are you saying they used to use Ritalin for chemical castration?
Ritalin is like most other prescription drugs - it has side effects and can do more harm than good if it is wrongly prescribed. But when Ritalin is prescribed for someone who does have ADHD the improvement is worth it.
The number of science and technology fields probably remains relatively constant.
The numbers of sociological, educational, "studies", and bullsh*t majors however have exponentially exploded. Perhaps the actual raw numbers are the same but in relation to the total number of majors to choose from it seems less.
How about "Manly-man"?
"Er, what would the male counterpart to 'feminist' be?"
If you go back far enough, feminism used to be the doctrine of equality between the genders.
These days I would settle for that.
According to the New England Journal of Medicine. Yes!
Mel Gibson?
Bruce Willis?
Tom Selleck?
"According to the New England Journal of Medicine. Yes!"
Very interesting... I have not heard about Ritalin being used for chemical castration. I taught high school for a few years and wound up running a department. I did not notice any correlation between kids on Ritalin and lack of interest with the opposite sex. I wonder if the dose was very high?
