If we are going to go anecdotal, I have two daughters who went to college, got their degrees, worked for a living for a while, got married, and are bringing up two children each. There are examples both ways.
"They are being taught by the leftist NOW loving trash in this country, that being male is wrong, and if you are a white male you are 3 times as wrong." Yes, and they are being taught that same thing once again by the leftie feminzais on the college campuses (as part of orientation).
Just MAYBE they are voting to preserve their testosterone and NOT pay tuition for that c-rap. Our son described the brain-washing in hilarious detail with plenty of eye-rolling. At the University he choses to not return to next fall. Hurray for the guys.
My nephew would be one of these young men. He's dropped out of college and is living at home.
However, I will cut him some slack. His father died less than 2 years ago of cancer. He's also had some health problems (broke his ankle and did something to his shoulder).
Hopefully, my nephew can get on with his life soon. He's a nice kid.
"Past time for Dads to stand up and refute this crap, take their boys hunting, fishing, racing, whatever and counteract this BS they are being taught."
A lot of dads nowadays are absolute wimps. My neighbor was raised up hunting and fishing and when I asked him why he doesn't hunt now he said his (lefty, school teacher) wife won't let him keep any firearms. My wife and I settled that a long time ago when we got married. I won't put up with that BS for a minute.
Actually, it advocates single-sex classrooms where lessons are taught the way boys or girls learn.
I'm a woman with two sisters. We all left home and never looked back, went to college on the cheap, work hard, care for our families, and are smarter than our husbands but we love them anyway and never let them know it.
We had and still have a great Dad. (and Mom, but the Dad is really important with daughters).
I'm *really* hoping you don't let your disdain for women rub off on your sons. There really are some good ones out there.
"He still lives at home and seems to have no ambitions beyond playing video games, hanging out with buddies and having sex."
Didn't anyone writing about this movie really see it?
He may have still lived at home, but he sold yachts and drove a Porsche, for gosh sakes!
I'd rather read the state building code than anything by Morrison. My daughter had to read "The Bluest Eye" - what a depressing piece!
I thought it was a well written and thoughtful article. It does offer a partial solution - single sex classrooms.
FYI:
"Cirriculums" is an accepted plural form for "cirriculum" (My Webster's dictionary).
I'm pretty sure he's not referring to Hemingway and Steinbeck - but to Morrison and the other authors mentioned.
"with a son you only have to worry about one penis; with a daughter you have to worry about three billion penises."
LOL! I never heard that one before. It is true though.
jarhead, you are right!!
It starts before Kindergarten, in day care. Boys need to be allowed to be boys. When they are not, they lose interest. We have to get the control of public education out of the hands of the women's movement.
Uh, a bunch of moose?
It's "diir".
:^)
yeah....
I mean it isn't as if I was staying there longer than I had too.
More or less I stopped in for dinner once or twice a week and did my laundry.
Half of the time I didn't even sleep there :)
Yes I regret it too.
Rubbish, my sister is an HR director at a very large hotel, in charge of thousands of employees. She has saved her company millions in the decade she has been working there. In fact, she just received a promotion to supervise the HR directors at all of her chain's other hotels in the Western US.
And let me tell you, she just rolls her eyes at the multi-culti crap those in her profession have to put up with. She is definitely not a bleeding heart liberal, and in private she can hold forth with extremely politically incorrect and irreverent humor about the on-the-job performance of every ethnic and cultural group.
Obviously she has to give everyone a fair shot at a job, and keep quotas of various underprivileged groups high enough to satisfy the Federal melanin police, but long and bitter experience has taught her much about the origin of stereotypes.
