Men--It's in Their Nature

They scattered into the desert, quickly became bored, and sought out each other’s company. Then they threw the pencils and paper into a pile, and used the candles and matches to start a little bonfire. The boys loved it; the sensitivity trainers were horrified.

I love that. Its a great imaage of boys being boys.

[Damocles]

Eventually all this "sensitivity" training is going to come crashing down on the heads of the social engineers.

You can't (and shouldn't want to) take the boy out of the man.

[Valin]

Men are men, women are women. And (so far) it appears to be working out pretty good. I like it!

[Savage Beast]

There was as much nobility and goodness in the boys in Lord of the Flies as there was darkness. As many boys were saintly as were evil; most were in between.

Golding was smarter than those in this article who did the evaluating.

If these people want to know the truth, they'd better get somebody with a lot more intelligence to evaluate the information.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

It is easier to fight sensitive girls than guys filled with toxic masulinity. The left wants no more armies to defend the freedom loving countries. Make 'em all sissies.

[George W. Bush]

Can't we just outlaw masculinity once and for all?

The goal is to resocialize boys, freeing them from male stereotypes

No, the goal is to feminize them. Thus creating metrosexuals, bi-sexuals, homosexuals and Democrats. But I repeat myself.

I love it when I laugh out loud. Too funny.

One of my wife's best friends is married to one of those "sensitive" guys. He didn't know the difference between a linebacker and a strong safety...

What a pansy!

"Social theorist Hannah Arendt is believed to have said that every year civilization is invaded by millions of tiny barbarians—they are called children"


Classic!!! I need to remember that!

[Modernman]

Societies have historically been very good at channeling male agression and female sensitivity in the right directions. It's the difference between a good Marine and a good teacher. Each onw is equally valuable to society. Now, these new age quacks want to take tens of thousands of years of human socialization and try to change it. They're bound to fail.

Except in San Francisco as well as the "arts" districts of most major cities...

Its kind of like the basic line you can ask anybody who is helping out a boy scout troop - any outdoor camping activity will eventually have a session where the kids beat each other with sticks.

Kill the pig! Slash its throat! Bash it in!

Sure, left to their own devices, little boys quickly turn into a pack of hyenas. That's why they need to have parents and other adults around to channel this boundless energy into the right direction.

And a big He-Man BUMP to that.

[KCmark]

Do they still say, "Luuuuke, I am your Faa-therr" while sword fighting?

[Arkie2]

This just tells me the next step will be to change boys behavior by altering their body chemistry since they can't be taught sensitivity. Oh wait, we're already doing that!

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Probably. I have girls, so I see the other end, and hear no end of stories about boys and their crimes, LOL.

[Exeter]

Ladies, it's not our fault. It's the fault of that broken chromosone. We don't want to do the terrible things we do. We don't want to tell off-color jokes and make sexist comments and hit on women in bars and think about sex all the time. We hate it, really! It's that damn "y" chromosone. Pity us. We men are actually genetic victims. It's a living hell...
