It's the fault of the mothers more than anything else

as women entered the workplace their power in the family

even a two parent one

grew exponentially

and women are just more cautious about boys being boys

and in time men just accepted all this and also became more subservient

yes...we have a problem with single moms and baby daddy culture...our biggest threat to me....before Islam and spending and homosexuality and gun control

and men under 45 just get more and more pliant as women get more and more bossy

it's weird

and I am living it as an older dad and my wife is a hair older too...compared to our parenting peers and us with three boys ...6,10,13

our kids love it

and every boy within a mile or so is at our house all summer...a bit of a challenge I confess

wifey cooks for them...teaches them to have manners (South)...since most don't anymore...even southern kids born to GenX and Y parents

we let them play with horses...shoot guns supervised with parental permission

sleepovers in the barn or tree house

KTMs and Go carts

or sitting up late with me watching war movies..and they get the added benefit of hearing me drone about how it was once or my overseas exploits...PG version...or history

but when I meet these younger folks ..their parents...it's just too strange the dynamics...over protection...indoor kids...bossy..even if cute...mommy...mousey daddy who doesn't own a firearm...or just a shotgun maybe

and their dads all sit around at night playing video games in their 40s....college grad fairly well off guys

Williamson County TN...

I never thought it all would come to this...we were actually optimistic in the 60s/70s

oh well

won't be long men like me will be dying off like we've watched the WWII/Korea guys and next will be the Vietnam guys and then my gang...the lost 70s lads...but at least we were real guys

There will be a major reset first, so the boys you are raising and influencing today (God bless you for your attitude toward the local boys) will be the leaders who will save what’s left of our republic.
