State-mandated marriages? Banning divorce? Hi Gilead |
The push right now is for STEM educations and only STEM. Who would have thought that foregoing anything that helped boys be social would cause them to have issues with social development? |
They’re useless. Single & lesbian women are thriving raising kids without them and take huge risks rather than dealing with them because they are so useless. They don’t help around the house, they’re uneducated, etc. |
So incredibly blind re: what men have and continue to contribute to society. Only the truly privileged can talk like that. |
We seem to be going down the banning abortion and birth control route. |
Gotta keep women barefoot, pregnant and dependent on their husbands. Goal is to cripple their their ability to compete in the workplace so men can dominate the higher paying jobs and keep power. Keep them in abusive relationships. |
This conversation is basically meaningless until you also take into account race and class as well.
I don't have time to google all the stats on this, though start here, https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2021/01/12/the-unreported-gender-gap-in-high-school-graduation-rates/, but basically there is almost no gender gap among white UMC kids in terms of educational outcomes, but fairly significant ones in different classes / races. Same could be said for e.g. marriage rates for college educated vs. non-college educated. Which does not mean this is not a problem, quite the opposite. But that many (most?) of the causes and solutions raised here are not responsive to the issue. |
Teach your boys to interact with girls. Teach your boys to interact with one another in the real world and not only online. Far too many young men's only interaction with other people is through screens. Men aren't encouraged to have friends with other men. Men are socially isolated and incompetent. |
Did your husband abuse you by telling you to turn off Real Housewives and pay attention to the kids? |
The most important part of the legislation: "It would also ban them from accessing websites developed by two Chinese companies, TikTok’s maker ByteDance and Tencent Holdings, the operator of WeChat, on the devices or from using the apps or sites while connected to a network owned or maintained by the commonwealth." That leads to this absurdity https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/15/business/auburn-tiktok-ban-students.html |
Because they've been completely neutered by calling every single thing they do "toxic" or "creepy". But yes, instead of calming down on that hysteria a bit, let's situate the locus of all blame on them. |

Female in my 20s here. I plan to have a child via donor at 40. |
Right, blame it on being called toxic or creepy and not on their crappy male socialization. It's really not that hard for men to find a girlfriend or a job if they have some self esteem and motivation. |
You're wrong. That's the point of the whole article. |
