Every time I write about how the modern culture seems dead-set on destroying the confidence of America's little boys, I am swamped with e-mail. It seems that everyone with a son or grandson has a story to tell about how manhood and chivalry are under attack. Last week I heard from a dad, Bill, who echoes the sentiments of many: "The boys are getting emasculated and wimpy/passive as they're now intimidated by girls due to fear of sex harassment charges and pro-female/anti male societal/educational tilts."
Sadly, he's right. As a mom of two sons and a youth leader I have seen how boys cringe when television shows depict boys as crude and stupid while the girls are always smart and powerful. I've experienced their confusion when girls snub them for opening the door. One day I observed the pained looks on the faces of male highschool students when a teacher explained that a major assignment would be to watch a movie of their choice and write a paper on how women in the film are discriminated against.
The attacks on our boys are endless and very purposeful: if they are taught to be nothing more than crude dolts then they will become emasculated men who keep to themselves. And the women will end up wearing the pants.
I've also observed on countless occasions a minor, but powerful, display of how ours is quickly becoming a culture where men are having trouble being men: females struggling alone to lift a heavy suitcase into the overhead compartment on a plane all the while surrounded by men who pretend they don't see.
My reader, Bill, also said:
"The feminists that sold us on there being no discernable difference between men and women except their plumbing have done an immeasurable disservice to women, the family, and hence society."
I would add that this trend toward emasculation is also destroying the dignity and potential of countless young boys.
Decide to raise your sons to be gentlemen - that means teaching them to be both courageous and considerate. To create young men of valor, you have to spend a significant amount of time deprogramming them of the lies the culture bombards them with at every turn. Talk about the raunchy scenes in TV shows, commercials and music that depict males as irrelevant or disposable. Or better yet, filter out those messages altogether.
If you are a dad or the primary male in the life of a boy, the most effective method to ensure that he becomes a man of dignity is to consciously model the behavior for him. If you are a mom with no positive adult male to help you raise your son, find one.
Seek out great organizations like the Boy Scouts or find a church family that will help you. In the meantime, develop a habit of reading stories of brave, kind men so they can imagine themselves becoming that way too. One great resource for books, tapes and movies to help you raise boys you can be proud of is www.VisionForum.com.
America really needs more than just a few good men - help your son be one of them.
Rush has been saying this for years.

Yes, he has. I believe his exact terminology is ‘Chickification’. ;-)
Ah, any exception - if you are “gay” and the “bull” THEN you are allowed to appear macho. If you are straight, forget it. There is that double standard going on ... it’s confusing the hell out of straight 100% boys!
Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death
"The U.S. government grows worried for the nation's avocado supply after some confrontations with the "Piranha" tribe of cannibal women, who live in the mysterious "Avocado Jungle" (westernmost outpost: San Bernardino) and ritually sacrifice and eat men. The government recruits Margo Hunt (Tweed), a professor of feminist studies at a local university, to travel into the Avocado Jungle and make contact with the women to attempt to convince them to move to a reservation/condo in Malibu. Along the way, she and her travelling companions -- male chauvinist guide Jim (Maher) and ditzy undergraduate Bunny (Karen Mistal) -- meet a tribe of subservient men called the "Donohue" (a reference to talk-show host Phil Donahue) and face dangers in their path..."
No need to worry about the masculinity of boys, the streets and prisons will show them the way, not that women and the "Donohue" tribe will like the results.
I was scolded for opening a door for a lady at the Austin Airport a few years ago. I responded by saying “This was done out of respect for a woman, B*tch, but as you are unworthy of respect, consider this just an accident”.
I still open doors for ladies, and offer to give up my bus seat if I see a woman standing. Most women are shocked, but pleased - the rest get a nice loud statement like the one above. Nothing like a statement to humiliate those who seem to think that chivalry is something that should be scorned.
I LOVE Rush!
And Femininzation.

GREAT GRAPHIC!!!
I am impressed!!!
THANK YOU!
Interesting that other studies show that women find “dangerous” men attractive. So biology wins in the end — to the detriment of all the hopes and plans of today’s social engineers — and our culture.
Boys in conforming households are demasculated and girls from those same homes run off with the biker dude from the other side of the tracks who’s incapable of being a good husband and father leaving her a single mother.
Don’t sweat it.
REAL women LOVE YOU!!!!
You are a heart warmer.
Feminized males are easier to control by tyrants.
How many sons does Rush have? I never hear him talk about his kids. Does he have kids?
Growing up in the Midwest, my father was a tremendous role model to all three of his sons. To this day I will open/hold doors for women to walk through, and if they don't acknowledge the effort, my father taught me the best response ever.
"Your welcome!" It gets their attention and embarrasses the heck out of them at the same time.
