The belief that boys are being wrongly "masculinized" is inspiring a movement to "construct boyhood" in ways that will render boys less competitive, more emotionally expressive, more nurturing

To read the rest of this article, which exposes how the feminist movement is using your sons to further their male-bashing agenda, please read the rest of the article at: The Washington Post
I hope that everyone will add their comments to this thread about the feminist assault on masculinity, and their NEA-endorsed efforts to use your sons to realize their agenda. I also hope that everyone will "ping" others to this thread, as it addresses an issue which is chronically buried by the mainstream press.
Hope y'all will come over and comment; and "ping" others over as well!
Why? ...So soccer moms can have soccer dads?
Gloria Steinem needs to get a life instead of trashing others.
Can't have it both ways. Either men are protectors and heroes and breadwinners, or they are repressed, angry, abusive, and sexually twisted. Guess which type of male that feminism promotes?
If we raise boys as girly-men, we will have roving gangs everywhere, and a real AIDS pandemic. Not to mention all mothers will be single mothers.
---------------------
According to her biographer, Gloria had her first abortion in spring of 1956. That's her experience with motherhood.

We will either be bound in servitude to it by a socialist state, or we will need to take up arms in revolt. Gun control is a way of immobilizing protest and revolt.
Why do we listen to people like this? it's has been obvious that this woman, "arg... phtew" hates men anyway and will do whatever she can to work at distroying them and their self esteem....And what wonderful backing she has from the Teachers unions...
Today there is the great belief in the power of humans to control and influence all things. Man can control nature and warm the planet. The nature of boys can be changed. Such talk goes against 8,000 years of history.
Boys will be boys and there is not a hell of a lot that Gloria Steinem can do about it. It is by no accident that men for most of history tended to treat woman as property. My Grandmothers were property. They could not vote for half their lives. If they had wealth or physical property it became their husbands on the day they married. That has at least a eight thousand years of history behind it. Today's equality has at most an 80 year history.
Today we have altered society in much of the West. But the West in terms of population is a small portion of the world. Two hundred years ago 99 percent of the population married someone who as born and raised within three miles of where they were born and raised. That is no longer true.
Tomorrow as the racial barriers fall people will marry partners born on the other side of the world. Think of it. American girls will compete for husbands with girls from lands where it is legal to kill a wife. In most of these backward nations, any American will be considered filthy rich. As women their emerge from total bondage they will be very attracted to the rich American. Men in America and the west will not be attracted to dominate American girls. Think a moment. When a mans choice is a girl who has been taught to worship her husband competes with a girl who has been taught to dominate her husband, which does the potential husband chose to marry?
The National Education association may very well mold American boys and girls, but they can not mold females outside the USA. They can tell him that his role is subservient, but his view will change as soon as he finds out he has other choices. And American boys will have choices.
American troops who were stationed in Japan after WWII were attracted to Japanese girls, our mobile men of the 21st century will be attracted girls who are raised to believe in more traditional role.
The market for goods is rapidly becoming a world wide market. The market for spouses is on the road to being the same world market. That is not a good market for American girls. They will be reduced to buying themselves a very poor foreign boy who will sell himself for the dominate ladies money.
The 21st century will indeed be a whole new ball game. It will just not be the game the Steinems envision.
i could start in on hillary's but i dont want to get in trouble :OP
