"It's odd how rarely you hear the problems with American men publicly acknowledged. Our leaders pledge to create more opportunities for women and girls, whom they imply are failing. Men are fine. But are they? The numbers say otherwise."

I’ll take you at your word, so good for you. I wish more would defend their sons against this crap.
I couldn’t imagine fathers at least that wouldn’t; unfortunately, many young men have an absent father and many of them have a resentful mother.
I don’t see this PC nonsense gaining any traction outside of TV land; despite women being 60% of college classes for years now and being pushed towards STEM fields so many prefer other lines of work. The worst are those that prefer motherhood; they are enemies of the leftist agenda.
Then show me the class action lawsuits against the school system for allowing this.
I’ll plead ignorance here: Where was this allowed?
My problem with Tucker is that he allows his guest to talk over him. When the guest and Tucker are both talking I can’t understand either one.
Except they do. That’s how controllers keep the planes from running into each other.
I wish I could believe that, I really do.
But that info is not consistent with my firsthand observations.
The pictures I took are from a location that is a good distance away from the nearest airport, which is a low-traffic airport (under 100 flights/day). As you can see from the pictures, they are taken way way out in the countryside.
The planes are headed towards the airport, not away from it.
These lines/grids appeared in all sorts of atmospheric conditions including those very unlike the nice sunny day in my pic set.
I still also lack an explanation as to why I never saw this growing up next to one of the biggest airports in the world, but I see it now in places with far far less air traffic.
At the schools I went to, girls pretty much got away with everything as the teachers just stood around and did nothing to stop them, and boys who hit back were always told never to hit girls. I don't recall one time when a girl was told never to hit a boy. I'm not the only one here who has seen that.
When I was in school I don’t think I ever watched anyone hit someone of the opposite gender - honestly. I’m nearly 50 now, so maybe it was just a different time; teachers didn’t have to tell boys not to hit girls.
Did they tell girls not to hit boys, or did they just let it happen?
It really never came up; again, this was 30+ years ago. I can’t think of a single instance where a girl hit a boy. I don’t think she would assume the boy wouldn’t hit her back, since young boys aren’t necessarily gentlemen yet.
Interesting how many opinions there are. I don’t necessarily think a woman wants to redeem a man. I think she wants a man she can respect to begin with, and then “work out” his other “faults,” which is not a good plan ;-)
Just my two cents: I believe that women are attracted to masculinity, but it isn’t that well defined anymore and even maligned, so perhaps women don’t even know what to look for. They just go along with the physical attraction of superficial masculinity. Girls can also be operating from a place of “love hunger.” Maybe their father was absent or paid little attention to them, and they are “seeking love in all the wrong places.”
Boys without fathers may not even know what real masculinity is. I think bad boys need to present themselves as strong and tough, which seems attractive. In nature, the toughest males win the females; they are seen as the better protectors and providers. But bad boys use their strength for negative things and can even turn against those very women and use their strength against them. They really aren’t the best providers and fathers. How many gang bangers are going to end up as Boy Scout leaders?
I suspect there should be more direction for boys as to what it is to be masculine and how to channel their strength into constructive things rather than destructive things, into defending good things rather than bad. They should be encouraged to be brave, strong, resourceful, and adventurous men. And girls should be better guided, perhaps by the example of their fathers, as to what is a real man so they won’t find superficially masculine men attractive.
Either you are trying to pretend this doesn't happen to excuse fathers from failing to defend their sons against this sexism, or your parents really did manage to find a school system that protected all students equally. If the latter, then good for them.
I went to school in a primarily “white” town 35 years ago; even the schools “on the bad side” didn’t have problems with girls hitting boys. I doubt ANY schools did back then; I don’t think young girls just assumed young boys wouldn’t smash them in the face if provoked.
There is no stronger opponent of today’s “war on men” than me, I assure you.
