    I like the part toward the beginning where he says a disproportional number of violent crimes and risky acts. This, he says, shows something ominous is happening in American. Everyone who pays attention knows that. [Sarcasm]Because young men committing the bulk of violent crimes and risky acts is not something we see anywhere else in human history.[/Sarcasm]

    I think his claim that the gender wage gap is non-existent is correct. I suspect it can all be accounted for by women choosing to work fewer hours, choosing to take time off, etc.

    I suspect the behavioral problems in boys is caused by not letting kids running around a play. Play gets their sillies out and is where they learn very basic communication and conflict resolution. Our society is trying to take that way. They grow up and require emotional support fluffiness (that's really a thing!) or get antsy and misbehave. The misbehavior takes a more overt form in males.

    So I think he's right about wage-gap and behavioral issues, but I completely reject the claim that it's due to discrimination. He sort of implies a battle of the sexes in a tone aimed at the 7-y/o level as if to get attention from viewers of that mental level.

    An example of how this message is expressed and spread. By destroyers like this.
    Never saw this movie but my guess is it bombed?
    The last Jedi.
    The Last Jedi has Kathleen Kennedy’s fingerprints all over it. She’s a Berkley educated liberal-feminist who was groomed by Hollywood men, told she had good ideas and was given powerful positions without having to do all that much… kind of like Rey.
    All the men in The Last Jedi are cowards, failures, inept, or suffer from toxic masculinity. The women know better then them must save the men from their masculinity. It’s the mindset of an arrogant woman who for years has put up with the men around her (remember Hollywood is a cesspool) and believes herself to be some beacon of feminine light in the darkness. Burning the tree of the Force is setting fire the the patriarchy. The subtext of The Last Jedi is very deep and very post-modern. It’s a reflection of Queen Kennedy. It’s also why they had to destroy what Star Wars meant to us and why half the audience hates this film.

    I think of you as Oldwisecarl . Of course competition drives innovation and results in improved products or performance. The snowflakes have grown up with participation medals and a worthless entitlement indoctrination.

    I think about Shawn White and the half-pipe snowboard Gold medal he won in S Korea.
    the first time in his life, White landed back-to-back 1440s — a maneuver that requires four full aerial revolutions — to help secure the win. White had never even practiced this combo. Too dangerous. But Hirano had pulled it off in his second run, impressing the judges. White knew he needed it in order to win.

    When oh when will people learn that competition is a very good thing. It is the driver to become better that one was before, to adapt and evolve.

    This SHOULD be the proper definition of Competition: Two or more entities, totally dependent upon each other to become the best that one can be.
    One is never at his best until tested and could not attain his best efforts if not for competent competition.

    Identity comes with the "Mind" that knows it's essence; that work or activity that make one happy and prosperous.


    To be self made is different from identifying "Self" by that which one does or has done...that is only an ego and is of no value.
    To know self, one must be aware of self or conscious in the first place.

    How one accomplishes his works defines one's self and his value or not or what we identify as: Content of Character.

    The irony is that people are increasingly seeking to find Truth by looking inside themselves at a time when humans are deeply uncertain about who they are.

    The cultural historian Jacques Barzun, in his classic work From Dawn to Decadence (2000), noted that one of the predominant characteristics of modern man is his lack of self-identity. Hence, the recurring theme in art and life of a man setting out on a search to “find himself.”

    “Where in the scheme of things do I belong? Who am I, anyway? Such questions made up the ‘identity crisis’ studied by psychiatrists whose patients had not ‘found themselves,” Barzun noted.

    But Barzun understood something most modernists fail to grasp: Finding oneself is a misnomer; “a self is not found but made.”

    Those who proclaim to be all inclusive and diverse are typically anything but.
    Celebrating diversity. What the hell.
    How about celebrate achievement. Ha

    A lot of this kind of illogical crap has been preached by the cult of pathological Marxists, a.k.a. Cultural Marxists, for a while now.
    Summary: white man cause of all problems. Every one else victim. Hate white man! No debate allowed or leftists get triggered by your “micro aggression” and can then violently lash out.

    WOW!, knew it was bad but didn't know just how bad it was.

    Many things goin on here besides being blamed for something that doesn't exist anymore.
    WE ARE NOT TO BLAME FOR THINGS 100/400 yeas ago!!!

    Somehow, we need to encourage Males in society today, eat right for your blood type, (we were just discussing that and my own experience) or at least, stop the junk food, stop the process food and drugs, (legal and illegal). Clean you body, inside and out and CLEAN UP YOUR ACT.

    A healthy society needs manly men, (not perversely aggressive but ethically competitive) and womanly women, (not bimbos but self assured and with self esteem).

    Men and women cannot live without each other but the radicals have made women so uninviting and even less appealing to even the best of men.

    Women today, just like always, require a Man to be their equal of better only today...the bar has been raised.

    Wake up guys!
