[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's amazing how nasty people are toward boys.  These are our sons and your future SIL's.[/quote]

Yes, it's depressing.  [/quote]

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.[/quote]

Dear lord, can you feminists really [b]not[/b] 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.

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

Just like in the 1950s.[/quote]
? I don't know about the male PP, but I'm 53, and most of the men I know my age and younger have college degrees.  Born in 1970, 20 years after 1950.  Even my DH, who is 58 has a college degree, and most of his friends also have college degrees. So, those men were able to sit still long enough to learn their times tables.  We did not all grow up in a privileged home.  I'm an immigrant; parents were uneducated blue collar workers.  DH's dad owned his own business, and  did not have the opportunity to go to college since he came from a poor mining family.

Why are so many people coddling boys?  If girls can be educated, cook, clean, take care of the kids, why do you think boys are incapable of just this one thing?

FFS, it's no wonder why these boys are incapable of becoming independent responsible men.  If you have low expectations of someone, they will achieve to that level of expectation.
