The Desperate Cry of America's Boys

And nobody will ever care. And nothing will ever be done about it. And it can never improve.

There is No Future but Nuclear Fire.

In response to this week’s school shooting in Parkland, Florida, a man named Michael Ian Black, whom I’ve never heard of but who’s apparently an actor and comedian, invited a “conversation” on Twitter that began with the following statement: “Deeper even than the gun problem is this: boys are broken.”

This is an absolutely, 100 percent true statement.

Mr. Black is correct that boys are broken. But they're not broken as a result of being cavemen who haven’t “evolved” the way women have. They’re broken for another reason.

They are fatherless.

Broken homes, or homes without a physically and emotionally present mother and father, are the cause of most of society’s ills. “Unstable homes produce unstable children,” writes Peter Hasson at The Federalist.

He adds, “On CNN’s list of the “27 Deadliest Mass Shootings In U.S. History,” seven of those shootings were committed by young males since 2005. Of the seven, only one—Virginia Tech shooter Seung-Hui Cho—was raised by his biological father throughout childhood.”

Life for Nikolas Cruz was no different. His adoptive father died when Cruz was very young, and his adoptive mother had a difficult time raising him.

America’s boys are in serious trouble. As Warren Farrell’s new book, The Boy Crisis, explains, boys are experiencing a crisis of education, a crisis of mental health (as in the case of Nikolas Cruz), a crisis of purpose. And at the root of it all is fatherlessness.

"Fatherlessness" is common to modern societies, where 50% or more marriages end up in divorce and the civil justice assigns the offspring to the mother. Why is that these school massacres are so specific to the US? I live in Europe and here guns are not available to the public the way they are overseas.

and yet you have the mass media, toxic culture, government, and college/university educators indoctrinating and molding an entire generation of easily impressionable youth that fathers/men are evil and useless.

THAT is the real problem

Growing up it was sad seeing how many of my peers were in single parent and even no parent households. The vast majority of kids, even the really bright ones, are coming from broken homes. I’d say maybe 10-20% of the people I went to school with had their parents still together and that’s not even considering how many kids in those homes had parents that hate each other.

Almost all shooters are outcast. Troubled boys have no support structure in schools. They see a troubled girl as someone that needs help and has been treated poorly. A troubled boy is a weirdo and a problem.

“She just plain fell in love with his good looks,” the mother said. “She walked up and handed him a piece of paper and said, ‘Here’s my number.’”

(from the linked story about guys shielding girlfriends with her lives in the Aurora shooting)

Always makes me smile to think about the guys who still claim women are less shallow than men.

"Men need to change from their preoccupation with violence and domination over others into egalitarian partners with others that negotiate life's struggles with the art of conversation and negotiation instead of the present precepts of violence toward others and intimidation."
