The truth isn't pretty.
In the old days, it was insulting to hear, "your Mom wears Army boots." Now it's no big deal and something to be "proud" of.
Darn good article and I agree with him. Thanks for posting.
I'm fortunate to have grown up when I did. Times have indeed changed, and not for the better in this case.
Poor men, being "mongrelized" by women.

Its not "men" who are being demonized, only white men. Black men in the media, print and movies are strong, stable and caring. There are NEVER shown as criminals or other less than desirable individuals. Asian and Hispanic men are almost invisable in the media.
Meanwhile, white men are idiots, bumbling fools, stupid and childish on virtually every tv commercial. White males are the criminals in almost every tv show that involves police work, they are guilty of rape, murder, mayhem across the country. It is as rare as snow in Key West that a white man is shown as a positive role model on tv.
Military, History, Discovery and National Geographic Channels get my attention. The former big networks might as well not exist as far as I am concerned.
But no, we conservatives are the problem for daring to bring up the nation's moral decay as a subject for national discussion. It just shows our "intolerance" and our need to impose "Taliban-style Christianity" on all of America. Sheesh...and these people think this rampant, sex predator, hormone drenched moral relativism this cultural mindset of obsession with "choice" and "privacy" have given us is somehow preferable to one where we are taught to respect ourselves and our bodies and that of others regardless of one's religious convictions? Sheesh, what an off the rails society we live in.
<< I'm astounded to read of sexual asaults by pre-teens. When I was that age, boys almost universally thought of girls as "yucky" or infested with "cooties". >>
Kids are developing earlier as the average age of puberty has been dropping for some years. What's causing it? -- the kids are overfed, and it may be related to exposure to hormone-like compounds or hormone-disruptors in water, beef, plastics, etc.
Our only hope is that this story is a case of "easier to obtain this information today and publicize it than it used to be". The boys I know still believe in cooties, and "yucky" is still the popular response to a girl's advances. But I will never forgive Clinton.
"White men are(portrayed as)bumbling fools,stupid,and childish......"Good point.I've noticed this with increasing frequency on tv.White males are ignorant,bigoted,dullards.Thank hollyweird and the msm.It's brainwashing and it does have an effect on peoples attitudes.
Good to see you, JH2!
Wagglebee - looks like a good one for the list.
Thanks, Betty Friedan. A fish without a bicycle indeed.
Here's another twist.
I think the explosion of pornography is due, in part, to feminism making it unacceptable to look at, whistle at, and admire real women in everyday life.
Feminism forced "appreciation of the female form" underground, where there are no limits.
Now beginner bras have push-up pads in them. And the underwear section of Mervynn's carries thongs.....for prepubescent girls.
It is simplistic to blame the rise of feminism on the sorry state of public morality in this country and the pornification of our culture. Powerful entities and vested interests other than the feminist movement profit enormously from the utilization of sex and its many symbols to get us to buy their stuff.
DO YOU NOT MEAN THE EMASCULIZATION OF MEN and BOYS,
and the invalidation of Mens right to Masculinity ?
The Muslim World represents one extreme,
what the Femminazis, and their male-lesbian(The Wimps) are doing to America, is the opposite extreme !
