The Effeminization Of America's Boys

Did you ever hear your grandfather accuse grandma of mollycoddling her grandsons? Grandfather was concerned about boys becoming demasculinized.

Today's boys are systematically being molded and "enlightened" to be less manly. It is evident on every under-16 soccer team, in the little league, on the playground and blatantly so in the classroom.

During the 70's and 80's women joked with men about being in touch with their feminine side. Well, most of us were joking anyway. But as divorce became more and more prevalent and single moms were raising kids, the boys were either hellions or sissys.

Teachers discourage boys from playing aggressively, loudly and competitively, and force them to include everyone when choosing sides and playing sports. Being competitive is now the sign of a troublemaker.

Many Cub and younger Boy Scouts are grossly overweight, cry and whine regularly, can't go camping because they won't be away from their parents overnight, and are not encouraged to be competitive in their activities.

Everyone gets a ribbon for participation. Awards ceremonies take five hours because every kid must be recognized for showing up. Parents beam at the 12th place ribbon.

In Meet the Fockers, Dustin Hoffman creates a shrine to his son (Ben Stiller) on the wall in his adult son's bedroom, and fills it up with participation ribbons, 10th place trophies as well as his high school athletic cup. He tells son how proud he is of all of his acomplishments. Ben Stiller is mortified, knowing that he was always last, or the dork. Yes it is satire and exaggerated, however there is always truth in humor and Stiller was mocking today's parents and teachers.

This is an obvious result of feminism. Feminists do not like men. What better way to gain control over a male-dominated society than to start the indoctrination process when they are boys? Break their competitive little spirits by the time they are in 6th grade.

Significantly more boys than girls are given Ritalin and other downer drugs. Female teachers don't want to have to deal with squirrly and aggressive boys so they convince parents to drug them to make them more compliant.

When my son was in the first grade, we had him in a highly recommended private school located in our neighborhood. It was academically accelerated, taught foreign language from day one and seemed like a great place for intelligent Enchanting Biff.

His class was primarily girls. The few boys he schooled with cried when their mothers left. The school did not have recess and only offered PE once a week (something I was not aware of when I enrolled him). His female teacher was an uptight priss with a bad pageboy doo who resented his questions - he always wants to know how and why (I call it relevance). Mrs. Bad Hair found his questions threatening and felt he was questioning her teaching. Within only four months I was informed by the principal that he was "not being asked to come back" the next year. When I inquired about their reasoning I was told that he was too squirrly in the PE line. (Seriously. I couldn't make this up if I tried.)

We moved on to another school populated with normal people. I did however, keep tabs on his former classmates over the years. By the time that class was in 6th grade, there was one boy remaining. Now he has a purple and orange mohawk and a sneer to rival Billy Idol's. The Principal had a nervous breakdown and sold the school. Mrs. Prissy Bad Hair runs the other way when she sees me in the market. (But I've caught her staring at my hunk of a son...)

This school is just one example of what so many teachers and principals are doing to most schools; run by uptight women, threatened by strong mothers and busy, intelligent, competitive, aggressive boys.

Take away boys' masculinity and everything that makes them guys, and what are you left with?

I hate it when I hear a guy whine.

And shame on the mothers and fathers who allow it. Yeah, boys are rough and tumble, smelly, loud, grubby characters. Live with it; it gets funnier as they age.

Besides, I hate it when I hear a guy whine.

Ahnold is right - a bunch of Girlie Men is what they'll become (and God knows that we don't need anymore of those in our state!)
