Do you think that people who have long abused their power should not be held accountable?

I think you are equating verbal abuse as being worse than physical abuse.
I tend to think the murder and rape as the worse. Although rare, it is predominately male on female. (throw in alcohol for decision impairment, and you get the perfect storm) Last edited by verticaldoug; 02-22-2020 at 11:02 PM. |

Not going that far (I think those issues start in high school and beyond) but there seems to be more fights between girls, bullying, harassment, and disregard for rules and authority from girls in that age group.

I have heard this many times and don’t look forward to next year when my very sweet and sensitive daughter will go into Middle School (aka Grade 6). I fear she will be eaten alive!

The tale of the Rape of the Sabine Women from ancient Rome is just one of many from history. There are many older. Or Korean comfort women for the Imperial Japanese Army n WW2. If you want something more modern, rape of the women in the Congo by the military. Three very different cultures, different times, but commonality. March 8th in International Woman's Day. In London, something like 110 nationalities participate in the march, it seems the one thing different cultures have in common is violence versus women.

I think we would want an individualized determination of guilt and punishment. Not a witch hunt based on any class categories that might be presumed to be culpable. The later seems to be au courant.

Ample evidence for this. Definitely a concern as the Father of twin girls. But what do we call this? Toxic femininity? An unfortunate byproduct of estrogen? Or just high school?

I don't know that the author exhibits hatred toward men. I wouldn't go that far. I just thinks she's guilty of sloppy journalism. She had a premise in search of a book. Using outliers (such as the kid so bottled up he needed to watch Holocaust movies in order to cry) makes for compelling reading but it uses a very broad brush. I think the author conflates "masculinity" with "testosterone." One is a social construct and one is biological. Sixteen year-old boys who prioritize getting laid are not exhibiting "toxic masculinity." That's call "testosterone." How it manifests itself is a different matter. |

I really hate the articles that you are posting up because they are simply rehashes of old stories with a modern spin to them. I learn nothing from reading it other than some more precise facts. Maybe I am already woke and dont know it. The solutions are simple but to execute is difficult. Maybe not difficult but hard. Like training for cycling, no short cuts exist- a climbing bike isn't going to help you climb better if you are not trained. Toxic masculinity has been in existence ever since Adam's balls drop. How do you fix it.... well be a good parent and community. Teaching boys (since this is the subject) how to act is the duty of the parents. It is like nailing jello to a wall. But just because it is like that doesn't mean you don't focus on doing a good job at it.

My son turned out to be a really nice guy. My daughter recently told me he was really horrible when he was 13. Never saw any evidence, but I believe it, I was too.

I remember when I was in pretty good shape a few years ago, and went out to ride up Rattlesnake Pike to Black Moshannon. I caught some women riding together chatting. One of them really didn't like being passed, and dropped the other one. I feel like it had something to do with me being a pudgy 55 y.o. on a ratty bike I bought in 1982, but I'm probably reading something into it that wasn't there. Anyway, I have always felt bad for breaking up their nice ride together. And she never caught me, even after trying for 5 miles. |
