Yesterday was a rain day, so instead of cancelling our shooting class, I brought out the arrowheads and pre-historic tools in my possession and we had a class on how being a successful hunter improved the ability to survive. I had no problem with the boys hopping around and imitating cavemen or staging an impromptu ice fight where they tried to herd my puppies into a "natural corral" to catch them.....

From what I hear, the lesson stuck so well, I'll be getting calls from the teachers today ;).... oh darned!

Random Ohio boy being boy just last weekend

my elementary school had a blacktop area for just girls (all wore dresses) and a field of dirtclods covered in sawdust for the boys who wore patrol boots and jeans with reinforced knees. after recess the boys were smeared with mud from flag football, fights and whatever. If it was too bad the teacher would have them go washup. it was expected that the boys would be jumping on each others back and doing what guys do. They were tired afterward and I can't remember ever having a kid act up in class unless it was for whispering. We also got more recess time than what is allowed now. We also learned more. Go figure....

One premise of this segment is that, because boys are medicated for ADHD at twice the rate as girls, that must mean that boys are being medicated when they don't really need it. I don't necessarily agree. Boys and girls are physically and psychologically different, and ADHD presents very differently in boys and girls. Often, a boy with ADHD is hyperactive, where a girl with ADHD is distracted and daydream-y. I am the mother of one of those boys with ADHD, and the aunt of one of those girls with ADHD. Both boys and girls need to be able to pay attention in order to learn. It may be that girls with ADHD are not getting the medication they need, simply because they are not disruptive in the classroom.

The further away from cities and suburban pestilence, the more you'll find boys are still being boys.

If boys are allowed to be boys as they grow up, there is a high likelihood that they will become actual men when they mature. And actual men are not valued, respected or wanted by the Progressive Left. The new narrative says that boys have to be pushed into becoming pajama boy clones so they can be controlled. It's really that simple.

My real worry here is that many of these young boys will become so alienated from this society that they will become perfect targets for terrorists. When one is treated as a defective there will come a time when they will rebel agains't those who have marginalized them.
I would suggest that we are going to pay dearly in the future for the damage we are perpetuating on boys. Question: Just who does one thinks these boys are going to want to go after and destroy?

Yep.

The feminists are setting the seeds of their own destruction. There's a reason why ISIS is being so successful at recruiting young males from European countries. ISIS is offering young men a very masculine world, where heterosexual men have absolute and total control. What's not to like? Oh there's that pesky matter of grinding your forehead into a carpet five times a day, but think of how much tail you can get! You have have up to four wives! And they can't talk back to you. If they cheat on you, you can kill them.

Yep, there's a whole lot of attraction in what ISIS is peddling for young men who have been nagged and belittled by feminists.

Yep.

And Bada-Bing!

Another thing to remember is that by not allowing boys to be boys and by refusing to develop strong, intelligent men, we are slowing and surely chipping away at that pool of young men who want to be in professions and jobs where they want to takes risks to help and save others. Or in serious cases, fighting and destroying the Enemy. And this will only hurt women all the more in the end. Who will be around to stop ISIS? Or the guy breaking into someone's home? The Black Widow?

The answer is found in our urban areas. They will go after and destroy each other.

I would suggest that one is already seeing radical Islam making headway in urban centers. It is the reason I extrapolated from it to my earlier comments.

This is not even to consider a future military alienated from the society at large.

They will go after and destroy each other.

That is the great hope of liberal politics. Play the minorities off of one another.

It won't last forever.
