Boys are not all right

The problem with our society is the emphasis on sports with boys. While my son participates in sports, we never watch games at home and I’m not sure if anyone in our family could tell you what sport the Wizards play. We DGAF about sports! My DS is nationally ranked in his sport but we would be disappointed if he played in college.

I wonder about this. You’re claiming your son is a nationally ranked player in some unknown sport but he wouldn’t know what sport the Wizards play? He would be laughed out of the locker room if that were true. Watching some football or hockey on tv does not interfere with anything.

I assume his sport doesn’t have a locker room.

Yes, it's depressing.

The responses here aren't nasty to boys. They are trying to get people like you to get your heads out of your butts.

Boys are fine. They still run the world. Women are still getting the poop end of the stick.

You two really need to get a frickin grip.

Dear lord, can you feminists really not understand the difference between white boomer men, and young millennial and Gen Z boys?

Yeah, you go tell the young black men getting harassed by cops that they rule the world, or the white teen boy in Appalachia who was orphaned by the opioid epidemic who’s town is dying; that THEY rule the world.

Get out of your feminist UMC bubble.

Black men are still more likely to become president.

And… you think women are doing better in Appalachia? They are being bed down by their dads and brothers.

Well said.

Or tell the suburban D.C. area boy, who consumes modern social media, movies, and online content, where men are constantly portrayed as useless buffoons, while Women are portrayed as the intelligent, responsible, and brave ones.

Agree: in this thread there may be only a few people (or maybe just one person responding over and over), but there is a serious case of a responder who is living in a feminist bubble.

A distorted, toxic, feminist bubble. OP is right: the boys are not all right.

Lol some faceless feminist is to blame that you let your son watch dumb and dumber instead of tv that portray men in positive light,

You’re insane.

I think there’s at least one person who’s sock puppeting and posting extremely inflammatory things on both sides. However I also think there’s more than a few women in this thread posting stuff almost as bad.

Boomer/Gen X, half black men with an elite education and privileged upbringing?.. so essentially exactly the kind of men I already pointed out are the ones you have a beef with? Growing-up-in-Hawaii-half-white-Obama is not a good example to show how men and boys are privileged today

And I mean, yeah they probably are doing better. Definitely have a better chance at breaking away from the cycle considering they’re doing so much better on early measurements that can make all the difference in life trajectories.

Also, again here we go with the double standards. It takes two to tango, and I highly doubt there’s any place in America where incestual rape wouldn’t be punished to the full extent of the law. Any sensible person is repulsed by that.

I've posted some of the stuff you're talking about and I'm a man. I've just got no time for whining and entitlement or parents who enable that.

Boys are perfectly capable of sitting still and learning their times tables, I know because I did it. Boys are perfectly capable of becoming competent and intelligent even if a man on TV isn't. There's no reason why "the boys" aren't capable of succeeding in school. They just have to do the work, the same as the girls.

It's true the toxic men comes from places like Harvard. They are mostly rich boys

Just like in the 1950s.

This is DCUM, a hub and hotbed of misandry. All you gotta do is browse the relationships forum. 🤮🤮

Probably a small but virulent crowd of 50+ year old overweight cat ladies that are divorced that's the loudest regarding all things male.

Chess is now a sport.

Don’t laugh. It’s true.

The boys who DCUM thinks aren’t alright are the boys to whom everything is being handed on a silver platter and they still won’t reach out to put a serving on their own plate.

Ask DCUM about the struggles of a low income AA boy in SE and they’ll say that he’s culturally deficient and has low intelligence. Ask DCUM about the struggles of a low income Latino boy in Langley Park and they’ll say he’s culturally deficient and his family is probably “illegal”.

There's the misandry again.

I'm glad you're childless so you don't pass it on to your daughters and sons.

This is so offensive. My son with adhd doesn’t even own a video game console and spends far more time outside than the average kid. Video games can definitely be a problem for some kids/especially boys and all kids these days need more outdoor time but it’s not necessary to equate this with adhd somehow not being real or not needing medication

Not offensive. Tons are boys are over diagnosed with adhd and tons of boys spend WAY too much time on video games starting from a young age. But they are not mutually exclusive
