What else can be the result for punishing every manly tendency a boy might show?
Put far better than I would:
"In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function.
We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh
at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid
the geldings be fruitful."

— C.S. Lewis (The Abolition of Man)

" punishing every manly tendency a boy might show?"

its just the opposite....boys are raised to EXHIBIT every manly tendency...whether it be crude and caustic behavior or early sexualization of EVERYTHING and in due course, the demeaning of everything female...

our books,mags,movies,music,tv....the farting, the spitting, the cursing, the suggestive language, the "the ha-ha...I screwed her" attitude has been ELAVATED to high achievement...

thus...boys in the old days might have been crude, caustic,etc but they kept it controlled...now, its encouraged for them to exhibit it full time, no holds barred....

no.....whats been punished is personal control, personal responsibility, personal character,and respect for women......
