Sociologists make an important distinction between pathological and healthy masculinity. Boys who exhibit aberrational masculinity define their manhood through anti-social and destructive acts; instead of protecting the vulnerable, they exploit them.

The great irony in this is that the liberal / socialist / feminazi axis is willing to tolerate, excuse and defend such 'abberational masculinity' in its Democratic leadership.

Dodgeball. Ah, great game. For about 3 years, after every Troop meeting the kids in my Troop played dodgeball for about 20 or 30 minutes before they went home. Then, one night, the Webelos Scouts came to visit, and brought their parents. Including the mothers. Said mothers freaked out when they saw the dodgeball game. "They throw the ball so hard! Someone will get hurt!" One of them started screaming at me. One kid did get hit in the head, but he wasn't in the game. His mom had kept him out because she though the game was too dangerous, so he was on the sidelines and was not watching the game. If he'd been in the game, he probably wouldn't have gotten hurt. So, the mothers put the word out that we had a dangerous, undisciplined Troop and I'm still having problems over it.

And what I want to know is, WHERE THE HELL ARE THE FATHERS ON THIS? Some of them were there! Why don't they tell their wives, "Cool it! The kids will be fine! Let them play." Drives me nuts. I've always got to pander to the mothers because half the fathers never say a word to them.

And then there was Jimmy. At age 11, this San Francisco sixth grader was made to contribute a square to a class quilt “celebrating women we admire.” He chose to honor tennis player Monica Seles who, in 1993, was stabbed on the court by a deranged fan of Steffi Graf. Jimmy handed in a muslin square festooned with a tennis racket and a bloody dagger. His square may be unique in the history of quilting, but his teacher did not appreciate its originality and rejected it.

If he was going with the tennis player theme perhaps he should have picked Anna Kournikova. Perhaps that would have gone over better. :snicker:.

Yes, rules are rules:

More seriously, these "sensitivity trainers", like other socialists, are trying to fix their previous poison with worse poison. These types used to say that men needed to "get in touch with their emotions" or some such garbage like that. Never mind that for thousands of years, every single civilized culture has taught that part of the maturation process for a man is emotional control.

The "sensitivity" types tried to change that. Guess what? Men have different emotions than women. Women are more likely to get sad about things....men are more likely to get angry and lash out. Emotional control is not important? Hmmmm....increased levels of domestic violence, anyone?

Of course admitting this would be admitting that the result of thousands of years of cultural development was right and the touchy-feely types were :gasp: wrong. Can't have that, can we? So like the "doctors" of the Middle Ages, the solution is clear. Bring on.....:Monty Python voice: More Leeches!

Y'all obviously haven't hung around a juvenile detention center much. Give me the boys any day. The girls are horrible little monsters who'd just as soon viciously attack anyone as to look at them.

That is the problem with a God less society; they think themselves Gods, in that they can change the nature of men and women. I wonder how many children's lives have already been damaged by such reckless folly.

Such actions do not amuse to me in the least. In case anyone hasn't noticed, there are a lot of problems with children these days; no doubt due in part to those who think themselves Gods. And having failed in their God-like attempt to change the nature of males and females, they now rely on drugging the males.

Thank God I saved my son from becoming one of their Pavlovian experiments and the neurosis that is it’s inevitably result. Our country has enough poor examples of men.

I imagine our amusement will end one day when we realize the damage that has been done by those who think themselves Gods.

But such pleadings are of no use anyway; our course has already been chosen, its consequences inevitable.

Dissident feminist Camille Paglia is one of the few scholars who values maleness: “Masculinity is aggressive, unstable, combustible. It is also the most creative cultural force in history. When I cross…any of America’s great bridges, I think—men have done this. Construction is a sublime male poetry.”

When I read honest women thinkers like Christina Hoff Sommers and Camille Paglia, I get optimistic that the Democrats and their agenda against traditional America and its families will be defeated. Not just slowed down and taken underground, but defeated.

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

I love it! What a great article, little boys do not play house.

Mm, cool of desert night. (sniff sniff). Mm smell fragrant desert rose somewhere. Me look. Ahhh find desert rose lonely and haunted. Have candle. Light candle. Have paper and pencil...write "I want you". She read. She like. What next? What we tell sensitivity trainer now? :o)

[Petruchio]

Simple genitics. Boys are the way they are because it is how they learn the skills they need as adults to fulfill thier destany as a real man.

Real men live to seek out liberals and kick thier ass.

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Yup; Created by Men!

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 as the boys selected and roasted the smallest of the sensitivity trainers on a spit...Later in the evening, the students sat in a circle while the girls read their impassioned reactions to the “haunting loneliness” of the desert; the boys could barely suppress laughter—confirming once again the worst fears of the sensitivity trainers. Roasted sensitivty trainers go great with chianti and fava beans..

Once clinicians determine the physiology of the male brain be prepared for research on how to fix it. There is already a well received study on the pathology of conservative thinking, produced by two Berkeley psychologist and presented to the APA recently.

Thank God I am raising real boys. They hunt, fish, play ball, are competitve and aggressive as all get out. But they get straight A's in their Private Christian School, have good (not perfect, esp at the dinner table) manners, are respectful to coaches & teaches, have a profound love of the outdoors, and are nice to little girls.

Real Men in the making. Ahem....

The absolutely stupidest, most clearly #$%!ed-up statement I ever heard in my life (outside of the political area) was on one of those "differences between men and women" shows that periodically infests TLC and the Discovery Channel.

The show high-lighted some differences between male and female behavior and then the host, reading from the script, said:

"These differences, which have served men and women well in the past are, today, a hindrance."

By and large, I've come to believe that people who enter the profession of studying the differences between male and female behavior are uncomfortable with, hostile towards, or incapable of understanding, their own gender.

Like the old saying "Parents are the last people who ought to be allowed to have children", gender scientists are the last people we should be listening to about male and female psychology.  They are maladjusted, spiteful and stupid people.  

They are very clubbable people who should be ignored.

A daycare center in North Carolina was censured by the State Division of Child Development for letting boys play with two-inch green Army men.

You know what's really cool? If your mom will let you have matches and lighter fluid you can partially melt some of these guys for more realistic play. It's always best the first time when you have all your tanks and armymen set up and you set parts of the battlefield ablaze. But don't let them totally melt and they will add realism for years to come. It goes without saying that firecrackers add a great effect too.

The 'new age sensitive male' is DEAD. Time to bury him once and for all.
