Now it is came to this! Men are feeling insecure because women are independent. Another new age propaganda of men to put a leash on women.
If men are feeling insecure over this then perhaps they need to man up . But yeah this is Western culture's wussification of men . It starts in school where boys are no longer allowed to play contact sports and otherwise be boys. When they play sports or anything else competitive there are no winners or losers . It also happens at home where there are so many single parent families that boys are often denied positive male role models .
Deal with it! Can you blame females for being tired of men telling them what to do?
In today's paper --
"[There is a] shift in American society. An Associated Press-WE TV poll of people under 50 found that more than 2 in 5 unmarried women without children — or 42 percent — would consider having a child on their own without a partner, including more than a third, or 37 percent, who would consider adopting solo."
And these are career women with money in savings accounts.

Tell you what I can't deal with anymore ,the inept , bumbling dad image that is ever present in mass media . You know ;the ones that get schooled by their children,the immature arrested development types who cannot walk and chew gum and needs constant direction from wife and children to survive. This type of sexist stereotype is perfectly acceptable today.

(Huggies pulled the most offensive ads that insult fathers and introduced this 'not all dads are imbiciles ' ad... geee much better !

In the mind of popular culture ,dads are a cross between Homer Simpson and'Everbody loves Raymond '... an incompetent man-child.
Look around the world at the women who are still mutilated as girls, denied education, considered useless damaged goods if raped, married off without their consent, maimed or killed for glancing at men not their husbands, and kept behind veils and in back rooms. Even the 'modern' countries kept women from owning property, inheriting, voting, and so on.
Men are going to have to deal with some pent up frustration. If they allow themselves to be wussified it's their own fault. I am a woman and when I see a wussy commercial, I don't look or I change the channel. For decades it was a 'rule' of advertising that the man be in a dominant position in an ad with a woman, either leaning over her while she sat, or standing while she sat. The worst ones were ads for cigarettes, until 'You've come a long way baby' became a huge hit.
Then there were all the ads where the man lectured or advised a woman about household products... all just as bad as the ones now, if not worse for me anyway, because I saw them growing up.
I read the first part of the article and don't agree with most of it.
Now, tell me your best guess why this is (or was).Quote:

You've unraveled the mystery and yet don't feel threatened?? And you don't want to dominate and fence us in?Quote:

Kindergartener interrogated over cap gun until he pees his pants, then suspended 10 daysQuote:
In the latest incident of anti-gun hysteria to erupt in a school setting, a kindergarten boy has been suspended from school for 10 days because he showed a friend his cowboy-style cap gun on the way to school.
The incident happened on Wednesday morning at about 8:30 a.m. on a school bus in Calvert County, Maryland, reports The Washington Post.
The kindergartener had brought the toy gun because his friend had brought a water gun the previous day. He later told his mother than he “really, really” wanted his friend to see it.
The suspended boy had acquired the menacing, plastic, orange-tipped weapon at Frontier Town, a western-themed campground with a water park, mini golf and the like.
School officials at Dowell Elementary School in the town of Lusby proceeded to question the five-year-old for over two hours before finally calling his mother, whom The Post also does not name.
The principal eventually called the boy's mother at 10:50 a.m. By that time, the five-year-old had wet his pants (which the mother called highly unusual).
The principal told the boy's mother that the boy had simulated shooting someone on the bus with the offending novelty. However, both the boy and his older sister, a first-grader, say the principal is not telling the truth.
The Post explains that the principal — Jennifer L. Young, according to Dowell Elementary's website — told the kindergartener's mother that things would have been even worse had the toy gun been loaded with caps. In that case, the school would have regarded the plaything as an explosive and called the police.
“I have no problem that he had a consequence to his behavior,” the mother told the Post. “What I have a problem with is the severity.”
The mother is also upset about the trauma her son experienced without her knowledge.
“Why were we not immediately contacted?” she asked
The 10-day suspension is officially for possessing a look-alike gun, notes the Post. If the suspension is not lifted, the kindergartener won't be able to go to school the rest of the year. The suspension will also be part of his permanent academic record.
And the school officials were male? I see the principal was female, but what was this boy's point in bringing a gun to school. Domination? Subduing?Quote:

The big secret is many men are threatened by independent dominant females. But the wussification of men by a female(S)is a stretch.
My daughter started her period last weekend :) Oddly enough we still hang around and I feel much less like giving her the beatings that I use to give her... y'know, jus' 'cause she's a girl.Quote:

Don't think a kindergartener thinks that way.Quote:

Obviously a cap gun is an explosive device . Obviously the kid needs to be sent to Gitmo for some water boarding... on second thought... maybe the school officials who grilled him until he peed in his pants should be subject to some waterboarding until they pees in their pants.
Did you see my post just before yours? "One Sunday, my minister's-wife Mom took my little brother's winter jacket off after we had sat down in church and was horrified to discover he had strapped on his gun belt with two holsters that held his six guns. We still chuckle about that."Quote:

Sounds like something I would've done.
Kids play and just maybe he feels insecure in that female dominated societyQuote:

Maybe there needs to be some reality in the system, you would castigate and punish a child for a cap gun but allow millions of weapons to be freely possessed, where was that child's right to bear arms?
My brother (and you too!) could take bites out of a piece of deli meat and make it look like a gun. He could even hold his right hand with fingers and thumb pulled into his palm and his index finger pointing out to "shoot" us. Take his guns away and he has other avenues.Quote:

The men of yesterday stayed with their families. They had defined roles, boys and dads,daughters and mothers. That's why things were different. Today guys get women pregnant then walk away and act like they have no clue they have a child out there. Women had to evolve into mother and father "super-beings" and while most succeed in raising excellent kids some fall short. We live in a nation of single mothers. Women get pregnant and today still have only one choice, most won't make that choice, so we become mothers, unintentional, in some cases but mothers nonetheless. We don't get to walk away from being pregnant, especially when we can't even tie our shoes. If men could in some way experience the biology of pregnancy I think most would never abandon the child, regardless of how they feel about the pregnancy or the mother. The war on men started with men walking away from their responsibility to their sons and daughters and will end when men "put themselves" back into the equation.Quote:

The reason that some men can walk away is that the government has made it financially beneficial to do so.Quote:

You speak as though women have no responsibility and yet the real responsibility for pregnancy lies with them. Outside of Rape they have total responsibility but they don't take it and the fault also lies in the safetynets that they have. Men walk away because they become unwelcome they are unable to provide or they aren't allowed to be part of the process, expected to finance the child without contact. The permissive culture doesn't just exist on the left, the right bears responsibility for their attitudes and enabling too, the right considers it chic to use women and cast them aside and then wages a war on men I see it in my own family, the girl allows herself to become pregnant and I hear the platitudes such as he will do the right thing by her while at the same time world war III rages between them and is this the first time, no, obviously the idea of cause and effect hasn't taken hold. Where I come from there is a whole mechanism for extracting child maintenance from the male and yet the only option they are left with to have any sort of life is to drop out otherwise the result is punative worse than taxation. One child they might afford but if there were more in the family... the burden is far more than they would conribute in a family relationshipQuote:
