What is happening to men?

Agree. Islam may check feminization of the civilized world sooner rather than later...

 

Gender equality has freed both sexes from their traditional roles.

It takes a village to raise a village idiot.

It takes a community organizer to bring the world together.

Cumba ya, Cumba ya.

 

What does this say Nitro? Someone say it is all nature (genes), then someone say it is all nurture (slate blank) Then someone say it have both nature and nurture. But now they say yes, nurture for some things like language...you learn of language from hearing the language, that is nurture. No baby will speak a language they do not hear. And the genes a person have can help learn better or faster a language, so that is nature. But then they say the gene of a person can be changed from random happenings. This is what they want to study now.

 

Fwiw, (from wiki on the pink triangle/Nazi Germany)

"Prior to World War II, pink was historically a male colour as an offshoot of red, and pink was chosen not because it meant the wearer was feminine, but because they liked other men.[citation needed]"

 

Having gone to the Ivy League, I can tell you that the people in the Ivy League are no longer competitive geniuses. They're just the ones least damaged by today's system, or ones who were lucky to have parents who saw how damaging the public education system was.

 

The real danger to white men is acceptance of MTV culture. Where it's okay to be a loafer and an idiot while you rack up notches on your bed from conquests of women who are equally as dumb, if not dumber.

Look how many white guys suck at math now, vs the 50s when they were all excited to try and get into something like NASA. White men are finished, unless they're Jews.


(Jewish culture still seems to value education, though I think many of them have become exceptionally morally bankrupt in the MTV-world of today. I think Bernie Madoff was just the beginning with them.)

 

Several quotes from page 11

"The discovery that the shared family
environment has little to no lasting effect
on personality and intelligence
comes as a shock to the traditional wisdom
that “as the twig is bent, so grows
the branch.” It casts doubt on forms of
psychotherapy that seek the roots of an
adult’s dysfunction in the family environment,
on theories that attribute adolescents’
alcoholism, smoking, and delinquency
to how they were treated in
early childhood, and on the philosophy
of parenting experts that parental micromanagement
is the key to a well-adjusted
child."


"Setting aside cases of
extreme neglect or abuse, whatever experiences
siblings share by growing up
in the same home in a given culture
make little or no difference to the kind
of people they turn into."

".... But they [parents] don’t seem to
determine their children’s intellects,
tastes, and personalities in the long run."

This paper is a handy reference to let ALL parents off the hook not just those whose raised a mutant.

 

I guess I take a different view. I'm fairly certain the layoffs hitting the men more than women has more to do with the men getting paid on average more and the women being in more recession proof fields like teaching. Engineering and construction are getting hit especially hard right now, and those fields are still dominated by men.

As far as men going to college, I think it's partly a confidence issue. Women for the most part aren't confident enough to feel they can do something without training in it. They don't gravitate towards things that you self-train for (look at trading). It might also be a confidence/cockiness issue before getting to college. Men feel they don't have to do well in school because there's always another option, they're always good at something else. It would be a good thing to focus some of the competitiveness in sports into the classroom somehow for the boys, I agree. For the girls, though, this is bad, I can attest. Don't know what the answer is there.

As far as men being reverse gender-roled right now, maybe, but is that making them less successful? I don't see many poor men stepping up to the plate to buy the skin moisturizers lol

 

Well said.

 

I think people don't want to realize just how much nature plays a role in what we are capable of. The truth lies somewhere in between nature and nurture, and the crime is that schools and teachers don't have the technique or methods (patience ?) to encourage the creativity that we are all born with, but is squelched by years of rote learning.
