" 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......

Really? Are boys encouraged, much less allowed, to rough-house? Or are they constantly told to “be still” and “act as a part of the group”?
And those are just two very naturally male tendencies, that is to say not the ones that require any encouragement; And what of honor? What of self-dignity (sometimes mistakenly called pride)?

>whether it be crude and caustic behavior or early sexualization of EVERYTHING and in due course, the demeaning of everything female...

Bah! FEMINISM is the mode of thought that hates everything feminine. (Honestly contemplate and contrast the adjectives ‘graceful’ and ‘feminist’ as generically applied to a woman.)

>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...

While I will concede that there are elements, even large elements, in society that have such an attitude; I will say this: I do not contribute to them because I am not a part of them.
And that I say having been in the Army. (I cannot control others, being I have no authority over them, so the most I can do is to not participate.)

>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....

LOL — And are not those actually MANLY traits?

Too sadly true.

Sadly, today we see that with girls as well.
