Demasculation of America's Boys

The last women I went out wtih called me bad words for buying her flowers. Then 2 days later called me telling me how thankful she was for them and she would never get rid of them! She was well educated, attractive and will most likely be well off.

At 37 years old I finally see that none of you females deserve respect.

I raised a litte girls for a few years that was not my own child I always taught her some things:
1) No one in life owes you anything
2) never make anyone elses job harder
3) Learn to take care of yourself because relying on others makes you weak

Please woman if you want to vbe treated equally start acting like it!!!

Thank you so much for revealing a clearer picture. Frankly, feminism has gone too far. It seems that if it is necessary for feminists to put down men to make a point, it would seem that they are striving for superiority rather than equality. If women were portrayed in the same manner that men are on television, in radio and other media ads, there would be an outrage! Shouldn't men deserve the same dignity women hope to be treated with?

GREAT ARTICLE, Rebecca! Thanks for having the guts to talk about this subject! I, for one, am a lady who loves being a woman, and everything about it. Why do the feminists want to erase every trace of femininity from womanhood and turn us into androgenous HE-women? There seems to be a special distain for all things feminine among the feminists today.
As for the men and boys, the Vision Forum website you recommended is the BEST place they could go (besides the bible) to learn (from men)about what it means to be a man. It's also a great place for women to reconnect with thier feminity. Hats off to you, Rebecca! You are a fine lady!

i laughed out loud reading this, i agree so whole-heartedly. what's sad is that i bought into it for so long. i married a very effeminate, introverted man and got frustrated in the end when he would not stop playing video games, and would not 'man up.' i was accosted ina bar once by a very intoxicated young man, and all my husband would do was tell the bartender that there was a problem. SHE told the guy to shove off. which i really think MY MAN should have done. in the end, we got divorced, he having decided that he did not like the responsibility of having a wife and home to take care of. i had spent years thinking that if a guy was 'too masculin' he's be abusive and controlling. i looked for guys who thought it was just wrong of me...

Men are just not allowed a voice as men in the popular media. And the few voices you do hear are derided and ridiculed. This has some very important implications for men. Very, very important public debates on things such as Family Law, Parenting, Child Custody, and Reproductive Rights just to name a few are dominated by the voices of women both friendly and unfriendly. This is not good at all for men. Take the birth control issue for example. When the female birth control pill was finally developed in the early sixties it was inconceivable that men, or any individual man, would have any serious sway on the attitudes of women at large about it. It was, and still remains, all about women; and rightfully so. Nowadays whenever you...

There is something about this particular issue as well as other many other issues that surround men and men’s problems that is never pointed out. For some reason, the only way these kinds of comments are palatable to the general public is when they are written by a woman. I applaud Rebecca’s attention to this very important social subject and as a man appreciate it so much. However, if you were to change the author’s gender the reaction would be quite different from the ones that I have read in the posts below. It would be one of scorn! The author would be told by scores of women and some feminists men to “get over it” or something to the effect of: “you’re just upset because men aren’t in charge anymore and are now seen for the...

If MEN If men don't want to be looked at as weak, then act like the decent, moral, kind, strong, polite, considerate, person you are.

You make your own bed.

If WOMEN don't want to be idiots, then be thee decent, moral, kind, strong, polite, considerate, person you are.

You make your own bed.

The whole country needs to stop whining.

From the article:

"The boys ... now intimidated by girls due to fear of sex harassment charges and pro-female/anti male societal/educational tilts."

My Response:

I fully understand this fear as I I have seen and experienced many an instance of women who are repulsed by simple acts of civility by a male. I and many others have been called a chauvinist by sexist females for the simple act of my holding a door for for them. God forbid a compliment be made regarding clothing, hair, perfume, or any other aspect of a person of the female gender. One never knows whether one will get a smile or a vitriolic tirade of epic proportions.

From the article:

... a teacher explained that a major assignment would be to...

One thing I've learned over the years is most women want a man. I've had a few girls leave me because I was a sensitive guy, and they wanted someone to take charge and be a man! Shortly after I got sick of it I ended up getting married.
Not too long ago I was asked what I would change about my life, and I said I would change what I learned in the 70's and not take the men are jerks and should be wimps lessons.

From your posts I can tell you and I about the same vintage and have had similar life experiences in the great events of the last half century. I don't know if you are as discouraged by what we see, I hope not. When asked about contemporary political and social issues I find myself telling family and friends that I am an old guy and what happens in the future is not my concern. I rarely post on Town Hall anymore as I feel the conservative movement is dead and the American people are nothing but a collection of weak willed whiners. The tepid response to this article seems proof that even "conservatives" believe the culture we live in is basically healthy and headed in the right direction. Enjoy your posts, keep them in the ten ring....

Recall the 8 year disaster known as the Clinton White House? In Serbia and Kosovo he was so risk averse he insisted that all air engagements be undertaken at "angels 30" (30k feet). HOW can you effectively bomb with any accuracy from small strike jets and NOT have some collateral damage?

I like Dr. Laura, I do, but she royally made an arse of herself on the air. She whined about some refugees being bombed. She said "What's wrong with their eyesight? Can't they see women and children in these trucks?"

First of all Lady, the trucks were COVERED. No visibility. The trucks were evenly spaced and moving FAST at night. That screams "military convoy" to a pilot. From SIX MILES UP AT NIGHT just how did she expect anyone to see...

(*Sensitive New Age Guy) when you need help. If we bother you because we seem a bit gruff or scruffy at times, too bad. I can play many roles from corporate to physical labor, I've done everything in between at some point. I am comfortable as myself. Maybe that's a fault to the Feminazis but to Hell with THEM. They only number about 23-25 anyway.

This thread should have a thousand plus responses. The feminization of the American male is at the core of a majority of the problems we face as a nation and a culture. Our progressively timid society, which exalts the whiner and denigrates the doer, is headed for disaster. For all those who feel it is more important for their male progeny to be in touch with their spiritual side than to develop the character traits of courage and tenacity, let me ask one question. In a generation, when the heirs of the "Dear Leader" declare Christian beliefs to be a mental disorder, who will keep them from seizing your grandchildren and sending you to a labor camp? Sheep may be a successful species, but without dogs to guard them they led short,...

I agree, there has been more times than I can count where I could see the distrust in their eyes.And who can blame them? But that almost always turns to a smile when they see I am not leering or ogling them, Though occasionally some younger women-girls will scoot by quickly.

That does not curse. That is just wierd to me.

That does not drink beer (not excessivley, just a beer).

That has a problem with going into a bar.

That has a problem with nudity.

That does not fart in front of his wife.

I think everyone should hold the door for each other, when helpful. Certainly a girl that attacks a man for helping her is just a rude b****, no other way to put it! But guys, just be helpful in general, but be thoughtful in your approach as well -- ask "do you need help with that?" I think ladies are necissarily a bit careful, if not suspicious, around strange men. Wouldn't you want your daughter to be? Just be kind and humble in your approach and delivery, especially when helping a stranger, unless the building if burning or unless your going to miss your connecting flight because the petite feminazi refuses your help. I watched my young son harrassed to tears by girls on our street. They pushed his 8 year old buttons, then rang...

Just a personal anecdote, reflecting a few changes in society, gender roles, etc...

A few years ago, I flew into New York for a job interview. I arrived suffering from a severe cold, and utterly exhausted. As I made my way into the city by public transport, I was confronted by a two-story stairway from subway to street level. I was juggling two suitcases and a breifcase, and I stood staring up that seeming-endless stairway, wondering how I could possibly get myself up to the top. A woman in the passing crowd reached out and grabbed my suitcase and said, "Come on. I got this." I followed her, panting and coughing, up the stairway. When we reached the top, she turned to me, put my suitcase down beside me and said, "I just...

In "The Undiscovered Country" when "Saavik du jour (Valkris) discovered two malingerers she asked them if they had work to do. The said "Yes Ma'am!" and she said "Then get to it." She was referred to as Ensign Valkris though. Star Trek TRIED to follow naval protocol. It has always been assumed than when large capital ships venture out of our system with large crews they would follow Naval not Air Force or Army Protocols. I like to think so.

This brings me to that TWIT in the Senate who bridled at being called "Ma'am" when ANY Officer addressing a senior legislator (the military is UNDER civilian control here, thank God!!) he would naturally address her that way out of respect. SHE got her panties in a wad. Too...

A real man doesn't need to pay to fool around with a woman. A real man honors the commitments he's made. So much for lap dances.

We enjoy movies such as "Die Hard" because the hero, being a real man, can take a beating and still defeat the bad guys. Jesus Christ was the ultimate real man - He intentially let himself be beaten and tortured to death to defeat sin and death itself.

Why do little boys have to go to the toilet and little girls don't and nor do grown women, only men.Dont females drink ?

I applaud Rebecca's call to celebrate manhood. And I speak as a breadwinning woman married to a man who is (at the moment) a proud stay-at-home dad and re-entry student. He is strong and kind and a gentleman, and a wonderful role model to our son (and daughter).

It's also worth pointing out, to those whose view of "manhood" seems to consist only of sports, killing things, grilling, and yard work, that David was not only a warrior, but a songwriter and poet. He was a man who wrote love poetry and music used in hymnals today with the same hands he used to kill his enemies and defend his people.

David was a man's man not because he only knew how to work his muscles, but because he allowed God to work his heart, as well. He was a man of passion and action, sure, but he was also a man of wisdom. You men out there, how do you expect to truly be masculine if your only endeavors are those of the flesh? You are obligated to woo your wives, to protect your children, to meet their emotional and...

Try reading of David, a man after God's own heart.

Yes, he committed adultery, compounded it with the sin of murder, did not discipline his son Absalom, allowed his pagan wives to lead him into idolatry, and paid a very heavy human price for all of it.

Nonetheless, he was a man after God's own heart not because he was perfect, but because he 1)Knew his own limitations, 2) Cared for the men under his command, 3) Came prepared to the battle, 4)Assumed a win over the Philistine, 5)Was not ashamed of his victory over same-he cut off Goliath's head for a war trophy. The Philistine army, upon seeing this, ran for its very life.

Where in the Bible do YOU find girlie-men?

I don't blame you for thinking that a lot...

"Advertising
The demasculation has been obvious for many years in tv advertising. I could detail more than 50 tv commercials where men are made to look stupid or weak.

The really sick part is that many men are involved in the process of writing, directing and approving these commercials."

I've been annoyed at this for years, especially as most of the products advertised were created and produced by male engineers and scientists. And we don't know how to use them?
