I doubt it...<br /><br />You are so correct. That part about the characteristics that push men ahead at work...so much truth. You must be competitive, have drive and an unwillingness to give up. Men must NOT give these things up. As the organization itself says, these qualities can save lives on the battlefield (which also means they can save our country and culture). But they would have men diminish or even give up those values and qualities? Why? <br /><br /><br />Of course men are angry. And this feminist control game is not helping other women. Being online a lot, I see the c---- word everywhere now. So those of us on the men's side, who stand up for them and against the hazy, "I might have been pushed onto a bed 36 years ago" Ford types have to put up with what the feminists have stirred up. <br /><br />Men are so angry that they're deliberately (tho' perhaps unknowingly, if that's possible) using sexual metaphors for everything that has to do with anger....PDT is "s----g" Putin's "d---" and things like that. I hate it. But who can blame them? Using words that describe what women do in bed is becoming the most popular form of expressing rage now. Too bad that those of us who are NOT the enemy and who are NOT trying to change/control men get the full force of it, too, instead of just the ones who assume "toxic masculinity." But who can blame them?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-35560929649003745682019-01-09T13:57:12.177-08:002019-01-09T13:57:12.177-08:00https://www.theblaze.com/news/masculinity-harmful-...https://www.theblaze.com/news/masculinity-harmful-to-men<br /><br /> "The main thrust of the subsequent research is that traditional masculinity — marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance and aggression — is, on the whole, harmful," according to the APA.<br /><br />It also alleged that "the more men conformed to masculine norms, the more likely they were to consider as normal risky health behaviors such as heavy drinking, using tobacco and avoiding vegetables, and to engage in these risky behaviors themselves." <br /><br />Avoiding vegetables as a masculine norm. Real men don't eat their veggies. The late George H. W. Bush comes to mind, he refused to eat broccoli. It is too late for Bush, may he rest in peace, but the market for broccoli-therapy must be immense.

If all things were equal, then there needs to be some reason why most societies are to some degree (some benign, some not) patriarchal (not to mention most social mammals).<br /><br />Male aggression has an evil sound to it, but it's the same 'aggression' that has fueled most exploration, driven firefighters to risk their lives, drives business managers to compete throughout their lives. One fellow I spoke to sponsers competitive overland bicycle races, and he observed that the most aggressive competitors tend to be the investment banking executives out of NY. One example he gave was a guy who broke his hand but still finished the race before getting it treated.<br /><br />Evolution explains this. Both males and females are optimized for the best distribution of their genes.. and behaviors that work for males do not work well for females and vice versa.<br /><br />As someone pointed out, if you want to see a matriarchal society in our world, simply look at the inner cities where the men are largely absent. {I have heard this same situation has been shown in elephant herds, where the old males were killed by poachers.

It is decidedly hostile toward boys and tends to beat them down in favor of girls."</i><br /><br />The NYT recently published "Where Boys Outperform Girls in Math: Rich, White, and Suburban Districts". Girls universally outperform boys in language arts and selectively outperform boys in math (especially in poorer demographics). Therefore, the education gap means it is problematic if boys outperform girls <b>at anything</b>. Logic.<br /><br />My kid's public elementary school has "student of the month". The percentage of boys that win student of the month is between 13% and 52% each iteration. Girls dominate those who are treated special. One of my two girls 'wins' these kinds of accolades so disproportionately often that even the other kids have noticed the preferential treatment.
