[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a problem that the entire discussion in this thread is premised on an assumption that boys are almost inherently at risk of going off the rails and becoming bad.  That assumption, which unfortunately has becoming deeply rooted in culture and especially in schools due to liberal political preferences, is the key driver for the problem you are worried about.  Right now, girls are boosted and treated like the future at every turn, even in implausible situations.  Look at the Super Bowl ads for one example, where, among other things, there was an ad where a minority female implausibly bested the entire men's football team (who were portrayed as hateful ogres throughout).  Until you all learn to respect and value boys, expect bad results.  Toxic femininity is real and a problem.[/quote]

Spoken like a true incel. Blaming it all on women with NO accountability for men and boys. I can't take you seriously.

What can parents do to help boys in this new world where women and minorities are rightfully represented. The answer isn't to diminish women or minorities. I want to learn how to help my son coexist and thrive in this new world. I want to avoid prevent him from becoming an incel and recluse.

I appreciate some of the suggestions here regarding chores, etc. Keep those coming. [/quote]

You are toxic.  You treat boys like criminals in waiting while doing everything you can to tell girls they are awesome and can do anything (especially since the world goes out of its way to support them).  Then you blame boys for being put off.  The problem is you.[/quote]

PP was right. You do speak like a true incel. The moment you have to relinquish some power to women you feel threatened. For millennia women and girls have been treated like less than but that was all ok, right? Hell, we had to fight for a right to vote while you think that was just inherently yours. So forgive us while the pendulum swings our way for a change. [/quote]

You're a lost cause, and you will reap what you sow.  Look at the media today honestly.  It is frankly rah-rah women and anti-male all the time.  You can make the world fair and provide equal opportunity without tearing down boys.  You don't want to do that, however.  [/quote]

Just because we are championing girls in areas they've never been championed before, it doesn't mean we are tearing down boys. Your insecurity and hate for women is what's making you an incel. Men still hold most of the positions of power so cry me a river. [/quote]

It's nice that you think that.  However, in reality, the messaging is distinctly anti-male, even in traditionally male places.  Here is the ad from the Super Bowl I mentioned above.  The girl is portrayed as an incredible hero.  The boys are hateful cretins who aren't even good at what they claim to do.

Now please show me how many CEOs are men, how many politicians, scientists, law firm equity partners. What are you doing to make sure that women get equal representation and opportunities? [/quote]
+1 please. Stop blaming women.  Our society is still is mostly controlled by men.  What are they doing about it?  Nothing because as long as the elite men have the power, money and women, they don't care.[/quote]
