The feminization of todays youth
Kind of a two part deal. My little brother wants to play football, my mom says no, because he will get hurt etc (even though, I suspect my dad wants him to play soccer ebcuase thats what my family does is soccer not football). Then Im listening to the radio today, and the exact same subject comes up. People were calling in to the radio show host after he said that parents are teaching thier boys to be weak in a lot of things, then all these soccer parents called up and complained "oh my boy isnt built for football", "he will get hurt", "there is less competition in soccer" etc. And when you think about it a lot of these arguments are BS, because I just fail to see how there can be that much of a physical difference between 5th graders. Soccer/football is just one example so pls dont get hung up on that debate pls. But I fully agree that over the last 50 years, each generation has lost more and more of the traits that a male normally possesses. thoughts?

Re: The feminization of todays youth
And here I thought good FYP's were a lost art.
When I first entered a MA competition, my mother + sisters all thought I was crazy, and that engaging in violence voluntarily was stupid. But I maintain that it was an awesome experience, and every man should know what it's like to be hit. My son(s) will be partaking in some kind of violent hobby.

Re: The feminization of todays youth
I think lots of it has to do with gender lopsided primary education system. All these female teachers are disciplining boys for behaving like boys. Boys are more physical than girls and when they behave in such a way it is frowned upon.
There is a serious gender bias in the US public education system and it's been going on for years and no one is doing a thing about it.
