Just because someone blames you that doesn’t mean you should lack self confidence.
That’s just your EXCUSE.

It is often hard to have self-confidence as a man these days because we are being blamed for everything. Everything we say or do is ‘offensive’, and we have to walk around on eggshells in order to avoid being cast aside. To avoid being summoned for a sexual assault or harassment case just for being a man. It’s a sad state of affairs. Thank fuck Hillary didn’t win!

It IS scary. Especially since, at the time, I had one niece who was in High School, another who was in Elementary School, and my wife was expecting our first – a daughter.

“I saw several college boys walking on the campus of this institution of higher learning, and not one of them appeared to have any self-confidence. They did not seem to have any purpose. In fact, every one of them that I saw impressed me as being overly timid and scared. It was as if they were afraid that their latte was not going to be sweet enough for them.”

That is frightening. School is something we think we should do even though we know we’ll be racked with debt and likely jobless after it – maybe that has something to do with it, maybe they’re being taught by liberals who make men feel guilty for being men. Who knows. Maybe they’re just pussies. But if that’s the coming tide, that’s some scary shit.

Well said.

I have read blogs, commentaries, and articles lately deriding the “fact” that men are becoming less masculine and more feminine. We see it every day. Books are being written and sold that tell us that the education system is biased against boys. We are told that boys are being told how to act, and how to play, and which activities are acceptable – not by other men, but by feminists who hate men in general. News outlets accuse men of abdicating their roles as men, while political pundits vilify men and manliness but glorify femininity in every extreme sense of the word. And, you cannot watch television without at least a couple of the male characters being gay and weak, while the female characters are seen as strong and self-assured.

I, like most men that I know, looked at the vast majority of these incidents as just so much hot air. Let’s face it, part of being a man is being able to handle adversity. So what if somebody wrote a book about how boys are being mistreated at school. It looks as though all they did was write to complain about it. I don’t think they are offering any solutions. We all know that the sole reason for the talking heads of “news outlets” and politicians is to stir the pot for ratings and votes. And unless we currently live under a rock, we all know that there are gay people in this world. Ok, not nearly as many as Hollywood wants us to believe, but there are SOME gay people. Real men can deal with it.

But what really bothers me is what I saw yesterday on the campus of a university. I know that I could not have seen everyone. But what I did see disturbed me greatly. In fact, it scares me because I have family members who will be affected by this.

I have to impose a caveat here. What I observed was merely a first impression. I did not stop any of these boys, nor did I speak with any of them, so my observations are just that – A first impression.

If this is truly the future of masculinity in America, and not just an anomaly observed by one middle-aged individual, then we are in trouble as a species. The girls entering college now have even fewer men to choose from in their dating pool than just the smaller number of male students. And if this trend continues, then those entering ten or twenty years down the road may expect to have NO real men available to date in this same environment.

Am I the only person who thinks this is a problem? I don’t think so. Please tell me, what do you think we need to do to correct and solve this catastrophe?
