The typical male life cycle . . .

[beachcomber]

The typical male life cycle in one of the contemporary liberal-created entitlement slave plantations:

Born to a very young unwed mother. Father unknown.

Usually cared for by an equally irresponsible grandmother among various other half- brothers sisters aunts uncles etc. Minimal education until can quit school because of age.

Primitive sperm donor for more like him.

Caught committing a crime. Rest of life in and out of jails, unless killed along the way.

Ignorance abounds and is the common thread.

We read about it every day.

For all the talk of girl power and empowering girls, it is clear that women and girls are over protected, over confident, and over pampered. It is clear that our men and boys deserve more attention and resources.

Feminism has killed western society.

Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.

I would add one observation to the OP although not true in all cases but far too many.

A male child raised by a single mother will still seek male guidance. We seem to be hard wired for this at a young age. And far too often the examples of adult males are the local neighborhood thugs who represent an alternative kind of family unit or gang identity. The other type are abusive boyfriends who use single women but never commit to a real relationship or responsibility to family life.

If a child is lucky he might find a teacher, coach, or a pastor to look up to.

But not often enough!

IMHO, one of the reasons many pre-schools are desperate for male teachers.

Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.

Did you make that up? I hadn't heard it before but it is very true.

Discrimination and hate of men is rampant. Men get 63% more time for the same crime. Male victims of Domestic Violence are arrested rather then helped. Men accused of Sexual Misconduct are presumed guilty by Media and Universities.

Most Importantly -- Modern Progressive Ideology views men as a class of Oppressors. This is a very bad sign.
