No, don’t blame women. Blame the men that like to put their anatomy in places where God never intended. Women are suffering just as much because men don’t protect them anymore, just prey on them like they do the boys.

Two things in addition:

1. Joining the military, any branch, was once the chance for pampered, sheltered boys to become toughened, self-respected men because they were placed in an all-male environment, where they had to live up to MEN's expectations, among MEN. For the first time, for most of them, they were placed in a 100 percent MAN's world, removed from teen-angst that is necessarily and ALWAYS the result of teenaged boys placed among teenaged girls.

Today, boys joining the miliary are denied that opportunity. Joining the military is more like moving from high school to junior college. Personally, I think it is an enormously rotten and wrong thing to do to boys.

2. "Family law" (an oxymoron) in the U.S. has reduced fathers to emasculated providers of money, and mothers to Ultimate Authorities in terms of discipline. Boys grow up seeing that their dad is a paper tiger in terms of disciplinarian authority, yet a slave in terms of $$ child support -- so WHAT BOY IN HIS RIGHT MIND is going to look forward to being a father himself? Is it any wonder that today's boys commit suicide in huge numbers, and listen to music where the lyrics are so hateful toward women?

Now, there are even going to be women on submarines, which to me is so incredibly disrespectful toward men that it makes me more disgusted with American womanhood and its insufferable vanity than I already am, and that's considerable. I am 100 percent convinced that putting women alongside men on submarines, putting women alongside men in combat zones, combined with the embrace of open homosexuality in the U.S. military, is a deliberate act of sabotage against our armed forces.

Think about it -- if you wanted to sabotage your enemy's armies and navies, wouldn't you just LOVE it if you could make their forces include open homosexuality and girls ("women") among the men? A co-ed submarine vs. an all-male-crewed submarine -- who do you think would win THAT battle?

I'm a woman who loves and respects men. I understand a TRUTH that women who are stupid, spoiled, and egotistic fail to perceive: Men are the sole protectors of women.

Ladies, there are times when we owe it to men, our only protectors, to get our vanity out of the way, step aside, and LEAVE THEM ALONE to do jobs that MEN are designed to do, and one of those jobs is to be front-line warriors. In those situations, all we women do is get in the way and serve as distractions. We can be warriors in a different way, and we owe it to ourselves, our children, and our men to remember it.

Do not blame women, exactly, but feminism.

Delegitimization of the male role model, and the best of the differences between men and women, for the worst of results; Feminism has redefined the role of men, from the perspective of the feminist woman, and shamed men into compliance through political correctness.

A great book I am reading which is hitting on this;
The Revolt of the Primitive; An inquiry into the Roots of Political Correctness
by Howard Schwartz

Teach your sons to behave properly and don’t be afraid to be a man!

Teach your daughters to behave properly and don’t be afraid to be a woman.

Men and women respecting each other!!!!

I personally am sick and tired of the stupid ass ads on TV that make men look stupid while the woman roles her eyes at him.
They ads try to make the female look superior to the male plain and simple.

Enough of this pitting men against women or women against men. Women are women and men are men and that is how God made us all.

The author is a woman. There are many articles and books by women criticizing men for being unmanly and too feminized.

The fact is the feminists with their victim mentality have won. They have won and reduced men to weak, feminized children. Now they whine about it and complain about how men have turned into what feminists said they should be.

If men are strong they are attacked as sexist. If they are sensitive they are attacked as unmanly.

Men are routinely diminished in TV commercials, portrayed as buffoons, idiots and incompetents. No wonder kids (boys) don’t want to grow up.

You can tie all this to so called “women’s liberation.” Yeah, women are now free. They’re now free to work a job, earn an income, work 60 hour weeks AND raise kids and clean the house, too.

I’m sort of missing how women came out ahead in this deal.

Men, on the other hand, more or less won the lotto. Sexual morality is out the window. So guys who are reasonably intelligent and objectively desirable by women have no reason to marry. They’ll spend plenty of time in the saddle indulging their fantasies...with no commitment involved. They also don’t need to work, as their parents or some sugar mama can take care of that.

As if that wasn’t enough, the legal situation facing men is clearly anti-marriage. The game is so rigged against men’s long term interests that they can’t fail to miss the overriding message: getting married and living in a traditional family arrangement is for fools.

I expect marriage to be dead as an institution in the U.S. within a generation. Sure, some men who were raised in a very traditional way or who are very religious will marry. Otherwise, fahgeddaboutit.

And women will find themselves unhappy. Free, liberated, able to grab the world by the horns. But they’ll also for the most part find themselves unmarried and in many cases very lonely.

I blame the whole thing on power steering and power brakes and the electric starter.

I come from the glass ceiling generation. You might call it feminism. My mother wanted me to “realize my full potential.” My Dad taught me I could be anything I wanted to be. I did break some ceilings. Nearing the end of my career, I feel that I have contributed much to the well-being of my local community. I have no regrets. There is no way I am going to endorse returning to the post WWII dependent Susie homebody model of womanhood as our only acceptable option.

I raised my daughter the same way as I was raised. She has choices. She is trained as a teacher. Right now, she is a stay at home Mom having her third child. It is an extremely tough job and she does it very well. She has my utmost respect.

I also have a son who builds houses and other things. The school system did not recognize his innate interest in the applied physics of understanding how mechanical and natural systems work. All they stressed were liberal arts and getting into college. I used to buy him old chain saws and small engines to take apart and put back together.

With the exception of one, male coaches were more interested in advancing their own children rather than providing a strong role model and improving the individual skills of all.

I think our educational system has failed our boys. For several years I have worked on a “Tech. Prep” committee to articulate middle and high school curriculum with college career certification programs such as welding, power generation, agriculture, natural resource management/forestry, nursing, firefighting and law enforcement. The state cut our money, but we continue on voluntarily.

I think scouting, 4-H and FFA are great programs that provide reinforcement of moral values, business entrepreneurial experience and great leadership skill building. In these, I think rural communities may have the advantage. Boys need responsibility early in life. At the age of 13, my son was digging post holes and setting irrigation lines. By 14, he was feeding stock on a neighbors ranch while they went on a week's vacation.

Just my two cents.

a man of "old-school manners"

So the MSN will be saying, "a man out of touch with the times".

Don't believe anyone else has mentioned it, but an important milestone in this perceived decline of manly virtue has to be the 1973 decision which effectively appointed women as the final decision makers on destroying the life and liberty of a child in the womb, under the guise of a woman's "right to choose."

This shortsighted decision, made legal by men, has had many unintended consequences for America and the world.

"Why are there so many boys and men who are irresponsible, unmotivated, unchivalrous, selfish, lazy?" asks Bill Bennett. "Why do so many boys and men spend so much time in pointless and soulless activities inconsiderate of others, absorbed in self or mindless technology?"

What, like gambling away vast sums of money, Mr. Bennett?

Maybe he doesn't answer the question because his own example is the answer.
