"Try as they may, parents, teachers, and gender facilitators have not been successful in rooting out male behavior they regard as harmful."

What a bunch of morons! "Gender facilitators"??? "Gender equity experts"???

Is this something from The Onion?

"Of course, boys’ natural masculinity must be tempered."

I'm glad none of these lunatics had the opportunity to "temper" Todd Beamer's masculinity--or to "root out" his "male behavior".

Thank God no one tried to "temper" my father's masculinity--or my son's. They are both saintly men. They certainly didn't need any "gender facilitator" or "gender equity expert"! Neither did I!

Are these people really running around loose? What a bunch of fools!

Then they threw the pencils and paper into a pile, and used the candles and matches to start a little bonfire.

,,, I hope these sensitivity trainers network with victim support. The sense of loss for other pencils will be monumental.

But decades of research in neuroscience, endocrinology, genetics, and developmental psychology, strongly suggest that masculine traits are hard-wired.

Duh? These researchers are so brilliant. This is right up there with their brilliant research from a few years ago, "Golly gee whiz! Horrors! Girls really ARE different than boys!"

I saw some TV news show report on this subject years ago. They interviewed some dad, who said he had raised his son to be an anti-gun pacifist who played with dolls. One day, he caught him with a piece of bread he had shaped into a handgun, going "Bang! Bang! Bang!" with it. LOL. Researchers, don't let COMMON SENSE get in the way of your big fat intellect. LOL!

Good article, although it has one or 2 missteps. For instance, I am not too convinced that females have better verbal skills. I do notice that they surely talk, gossip and chatter alot, but, seems to me, most great literature has been written by males.
