[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thread is meaningless in the face of rising and rampant toxic masculinity in America.[/quote]

I posted after reading the other mega snow thread on why aren't kids shoveling.

There are hundreds of posts from people who were shoveled out by young men and boys from the neighborhood,  and hundreds of posts from parents whose sons are out shoveling and who shoveled multiple days, often for free.

There were multiple posts from moms of girls explaining why their daughters are not out shoveling, citing things like studying, babysitting, working indoor jobs and giving music lessons instead.  There were posts from parents saying their sons were shoveling and daughter were doing other things.  Some girls are shoveling,  but it is rare and those girls are very rare (yay them) not at all common.

I counted 2 posters in that other thread who said their daughters were out shoveling for neighbors, and a couple saying that their girls were shoveling their own cars/driveways but not out in the neighborhood.

Our community facebook and next door pages of thousands of people show the exact same thing as that complaint thread.  It is teen boys and young men, almost without exception,  who are the ones stepping up to help their neighbors clear this ice mess.

The boys and young men as a group really had a moment in this storm, providing an incredible service to their community in the face of some truly backbreaking work that no one wanted to do.

Our community needs to be very appreciative to our young men for what they did this week to help their neighbors.[/quote]

It is really sad that you need to cut down girls to build up boys.  Do better.  Just praise the boys you actually have seen in person and stop with your broad generalizations based off of social media.  Are you a f-in adult, for crying out loud?????  You are as bad as the teenagers thinking social media is reality.  FFS.  [/quote]
