Good essay, thanks.

I read a LinkedIn post yesterday about a woman starting a program to encourage young black girls to train as pilots. It got lots of Likes, predictably - but just imagine her saying she'd started a program to encourage young white girls to do (insert any occupation). How long would her career last ? You can be racist, but only in one direction.

Color is not the only “blind” we should be. Sex discrimination should be done with as well. Once again, it has outlived its usefulness to the country. Our boys are now “on the spectrum” when they act like boys. Girls get lots of support, praise, advantages over boys and it is discouraging half of our population in favor of the other half. No great country can afford to waste half of its youth.

The cultural assault on males is going to lead nowhere good for our society.

It has already resulted in young men going on shooting sprees.

When I was in high school, boys kept long guns in their trucks so they could go hunting before and after school. All those guns on the property and no one shooting other students.

The primary difference between boys of my generation (and older) and the boys who have decided that a massacre is the answer to their problems is that today's boys are taught incessantly from childhood that being male is bad.

Bingo. They treat boys like damaged girls and wonder what could possibly go wrong.

She most likely would be fine, now young white boys would get her lynched
