Only a mother could have this level of awareness and write about it, none of the other women would want to believe it and neither would they give a fuck. The only way you can not see "boys" as the enemy is to be a mother yourself, see the pain and issues your son goes through and then, only then, is a woman capable of seeing they're not the only ones capable of being victimised, but in fact males go through shit too. Haha, quite ironic. I love how the biological motherly instinct can override the indoctrination of feminism. Good piece.

Thankfully I am far away from having kids (if I ever choose to), but this ridiculous prosecution makes me angry. I played "Secret Agent" all the time in elementary school – I made milk cartons into tanks and pretzels/food into guns, I drew guns on paper (from my video games), I "beat up" my friends, etc. It's just what boys do, (especially since Goldneye had just come out). Where the hell is the harm in it? If you have half-intelligent parents, they'll teach you that you shouldn't actually kill people, and that's it. There's no need to attack little boys. This all makes me wonder:

Do any of you veteran/endorsed RP guys from this subreddit have kids?

What do you guys think of homeschooling?

Story time kids ... this happened on Friday:

I have a son who just started school this year. Well, there's a Spanish girl in his class (actual Spanish, not Mexico), that he likes because "she talks weird and laughs funny". Every Friday the teacher sends home a note for updates, progress, problems, and what not for each student. The note this Friday said that my son had kissed that Spanish girl. I asked and he was adamant that she kissed him ... on the cheek.

So, you take a native Spanish girl, who would traditionally give a peck on the cheek, and not very up to speed on American customs and automatically it's the boy doing it. Because, obviously, any perceived sexual contact is going to be initiated by the boy.

I didn't make a big deal of it, neither did my wife, but I do worry about my kid being labeled on the first week of school.

And I know it's not actually a peck on the cheek, but in the small town I live in most would see it as that.

It is stories like this that make me concerned for the future of my eventual children. I want them to have a happy life, but seeing so many people so happy to force arbitrary rules on boys that they cannot comprehend makes me uncomfortable. This article only glances at the depth of disenfranchisement that is occurring for young boys. The whole education system is constructed to tell children to sit down, shut up and play nice only. This is a terrible fate for any young boy because he is probably rambunctious. I can understand why boys do not want to go to school and it is not because they hate learning; it is because the education system hates educating boys.

"Becoming"? They were pretty fucking hostile to boys 30 years ago when I was there.

Christina Hoff Summers is great.

She's been writing books on this stuff for years. Her and Camille Paglia are female writers I respect.

Maybe now we can start talking about the forced stoicism of males
