“Lol- it sounds to me like you boys are getting pretty defensive over being called immature. Why can’t you all just accept your fate as the inferior gender? Stop debating the obvious and go do something useful with your testosterone saturated manliness.”
This sort of comment is why I have to try really, really hard to respect women. It’s hard to take most of them seriously because this is often their view. I find myself snickering more often than not.
I think one of the problems with this whole issue is the assumed definitions of maturity and adulthood. Why are video games adolescent again? Are sports also adolescent? Are the authors of these articles assuming that the only worthwhile activities in life are pursuit of career, establishing long-term relationships, and breeding?
I’m not quite getting it. My personal view is that the ultimate maturity is trying to better the world you live in for others. I try to do that as much as possible, and when I intend to keep trying to have a greater influence. So if I try to make the world a better place through, writing, volunteer activities, and politics, but I go home at night and play Halo and look at porn then I am immature?
This whole issue is as ridiculous as most of the articles written about it. I take the same view towards it as most men take towards silly feminists: eye-rolling and ignoring.
