In the examples given, how did women who were not yet adults "rise above" these adult issues. We are talking about the path from childhood to adulthood.

how?  I realized that either I can get a dead end job not being paid much or get a college degree and a better paying job.    I was 17 when I graduated HS.

I chose the short term harder route of a college degree.

No parental guidance.  I am from a very old fashioned culture where females being educated was not highly prized back then. My parents weren't that supportive of me getting a degree.  But, I had grit. Something that these young men seem to be lacking.  Maybe they grew up in a more privileged household than I did and didn't see their parents struggling to make ends meat, seeing teen pregnancies, etc... Maybe being surrounded by all that privilege made them soft.

I don't know.  But, I do know that treating these  young men like they are incapable snowflakes isn't going to help them in the long run.

I shudder to think that these are the types of men that my DD will have to pick from to partner up with.

If they are that lost, they can join the military.  It helped my brother immensely.[/quote]
