just how disabled our “faculties of judgment and discernment” have become

By design. The left wants us to not be able to, and to actually shun, judging one course of action, behavior, or choice as being better than another.

I suspect Never Never Land would be under Marxist control.

“... more than the feminization of the hard sciences is under consideration,”

I work at a University. It is NOT possible to overstate this fact.

“More adults, ages eighteen to forty-nine, watch the Cartoon Network than watch CNN.”

I think this factoid contradicts the author's point. No real adult would be caught dead watching CNN, except for its train-wreck attraction (and maybe Glenn Beck).

• “More adults, ages eighteen to forty-nine, watch the Cartoon Network than watch CNN.”

That's good news. The cartoons don't crap on my country and military like CNN and CN didn't plant lefties at the Republican debates!

• “Readers as old as twenty-nine are buying ‘young adult’ fiction written expressly for teens.” 'Cuz everything else is written by, about and for weird old Baby boomer women!

• “The average video gamester was eighteen in 1990; now he’s going on thirty.”

'Cuz the movies suck lately.

• “And no wonder: The National Academy of Sciences has, in 2002, redefined adolescence as the period extending from the onset of puberty, around twelve, to age thirty.”

Studies owned and performed by boomers--it makes the boomers feel younger.

• “Maybe this helps explain why about one-third of the fifty-six million Americans sitting down to watch SpongeBob SquarePants on Nickelodeon each month in 2002 were between the ages of eighteen and forty-nine.”

Spongebob is miles better than the snarky leftist sitcoms.... Miles better than 'Sex in the City'

I watch the shows that don't make me wanna put a bullet through my TV. I end up watching a lot of cartoons....

Gen-X happens to be a sliver genertaion between the Baby Boom and the "Echo Boom" that there isn't much for us in the culture between the geriatric boomers and the 'young adults'

So if you are in your mid-30's, you're not going to be enjoying boomer culture and everyone that drives the marketing is younger: There's just not much there in culture between Linsday Lohan and Sharon Stone....
