Why are so many parents fumbling raising boys?

Correct. Boys that are raised to be masculine are thriving. Boys raised to be something else, usually by a woman who calls masculinity “toxic,” are struggling.

It’s funny but my girlfriends who married masculine guys have great families overall. My girlfriends who married less masculine men are more likely to be divorced or unhappy with their lot. It’s sad to see those unhappy women try to make their sons feminine because it will end poorly for all involved.

Relatedly, raising daughters to be masculine isn’t helping bring the next generation into the world. We just need to be honest about the innate differences.

Ridiculous. Ask yourself why you have to hold up the patriarchy with this utter nonsense.

I don’t have to hold up anything. I’m simply noting a pattern I’ve observed. If you have been on these boards, you know they are populated by women who lean to the left. You’ll also know that many are divorced. Maybe you think that’s a coincidence. I disagree.

Considering the post you quoted, it sounds like you’re equating athleticism and exercise with masculinity. Do
you think that athletics and exercise benefit girls as well? Or do you think that their “innate differences” mean they should never be seen sweating? Back to diet pills and cigarettes to keep the girlish figure?

Two issues. First, I think girls should do athletics for health. The teamwork lessons are valuable for women just like men. I was a college athlete so I’m biased.

Second, I don’t think athletic success is feminine. We all know that being a good athlete is an attractive quality women desire in a man. There are evolutionary reasons why. In my youth, men liked the way I looked because I was fit, but not one, other maybe than DH, cared about my athletic abilities. And DH would say he only cared because it made it more likely our DSs would be good athletes themselves. So in that sense, I see strong athleticism as a masculine trait in men and neutral in women.

Do you think that girls should be educated, or is academic success also a masculine trait?

We have educated women for decades. What do you think has happened to innovation and academic freedom during that period? The moral argument is separate from the impacts, which most want to ignore. Ignoring problems is how we got the orange clown.

I know many brilliant and highly educated women. They have few children. How is that good for civilization to have so much talent not reproduce? Further, the ones who are reproducing are married to cavemen. I don’t think this ends the way people here might expect.

As a society, we have made choices that make it harder for boys. Many here think those costs are worth it, but I caution we should acknowledge the costs to discuss the tradeoffs.

The issue at hand is that all boys are not athletic. Non athletic boys should not have extra difficulties in life just because a bunch of spoiled sporty kids and their parents decide to gang up and create a world that excludes them. You are being a selfish jerk and that makes the world worse for everyone.

So then you are making unsubstantiated assumptions about strangers that you know nothing about just to maintain your self righteous self image? Real men don’t have to lie to themselves in order to feel better about their life.

I don’t believe you know anyone married in the real world. Red pill incels are stuck in mommy’s basement and don’t interact with real people. Stop cosplaying as a normal adult.

You seem to have a very small subset of people that you know. This isnt backed by studies in the least. The most successful people tend to be balanced.

There are about ten million teen boys in America, so generalizations are rather silly.

SOME young men who are athletic are fine. A lot of them are confident, polite, hard-working, and know how to treat others kindly.

And some athletic young men are absolute meatheads who don't know how to own their mistakes.

I agree boys shouldn’t need to be athletic but I won’t deny that it helps. It’s the same for pretty girls. Whether it should be that way is not relevant to what is.
