<p>Without making light of the situation, I really must admit that I just don't get it. Raising boys in this era, I am acutely aware of how boys are discriminated against , especially in public ed sytems. Yes, discrimintad against. I recenetly attended a high school dance and witnessed girls LEADING, gyrating hips, seductively moving to a point that mimicked -- well you know what I mean. Other parents and I agreed.......this is truly ironic, Yet, there is a scream for respect, equality, etc... If the VM, et al. is targeting the male audience, seeking understanding, compassion, etc..., perhaps a better approach would be to seek respect in everyday life. I just don't get it.
Violence against women? Yes, I'm sure it is real. However, there is also a problem with the forced feminization of boys, subduing the male character, understanding and accepting the difference between sexes, etc...Perhaps, a little more mutual respect in both directions would be to eveyone's mutual adavatage.But to receive respect, one must command respect. Some of the behaviors I've witnessed lately fly in the face of commanding respect. sad but true. If I were the mother of a young teenage girl, I would be mortified, based on what I recently observed in the dancefloor alone. Anyone out there know what I'm talking about?</p>
