Feminization of America

     Just the other day my sister received an email from her son's kindergarten teacher.  Apparently my nephew is too rought with dolls.  He does not enjoy playing with them, and this appears to disturb his teacher.  Several questions popped into my head.  What boy wants to play with dolls?  And what boy isn't rough with everything?  Does he have a choice of toys?  And if he does, why are they forcing him to use dolls?
     This is part of an alarming trend in American society: feminization.  Boys can no longer be boys, and men have become stupid, incompetent boys.  But more importantly, it switches gender roles and harms male identity.
     Just take a look at popular culture.  Many of the famous couples are now much older woman, who are seen as beautiful and mature, with much younger men, like Maria Carey and Nick Cannon, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, and Courteney Cox and David Arquette.  These women are praised as strong for going after what they want and expressing their sexuality.  Now flip this to an older man with a younger woman, which was the traditional paring.  Men were the providers, and an older man could provide for a younger woman.  Now though, the man is often looked as a pervert for chasing a young girl.  The older men who does end up with a young woman is an idiot, too stupid and involved in his genitals to realize he is being used in some way.  Anne Nicole Smith and J. Howard Marshall come to mind.
     Movies and television programs are no better.  The women are the powerful, smart characters that have all of the answers and fix all of the problems.  Many of their complaints are centered around inept male partners, who are dumb, impotent, and no help in any situation.  This can be seen in the television show Rules of Engagement.  Homosexual males are the exception.  They are fun, stable, and give great advice.  Men were once the solid foundations of families and societies.  In shows like Father Knows Best, their knowledge was sought after and common sense filled their teachings.  Those days are gone.
     Many of these concerns are echoed by WorldNetDaily, which describes the feminization in schools, homes, and culture (WND.com).  It describes some of the items listed above, and adds how boys are falling behind girls in school and tells of how divorces mostly intiatied by and ruled in favor of wives.
     The problem I have is not the upgraded status of women, but the downgrading of men.  So many little boys are forced onto drugs for AD/HD to suppress their natural tendencies.  What happened to boys will be boys?  What boy can sit still for hours and pay attention?  It's sad to see.  The feminists have been very successful at eliminating male influences and putting their progressive views in its place.  Men in society have gone from prominent, to pathetic.
