The "Really ?!?!?!?!" Thread
I don`t see men as being "feminized" but rather, just...weak. In body and mind (and some might say spirit).
Those who`ve been subjected to "bullying" might take exception to that trivialization. "Bullying" sounds pretty innocuous a label for some of the behavior in question. It`s not just "kid stuff", it`s vile behavior that ruins lives. Try it on first-hand..after it`s happened to *YOU*.
Kids should be safe, especially when they`re in school. (No, no..not "safe from uncomfortable ideas" or any of that nonsense.)
Gee I hope not...really, seriously. That kind of [thing] happened in my HS, and was indicative of the lack of control that was endemic there. Why would a student direct physical violence at a teacher? Why would anybody want to interfere with the breaking up of a fight at a school? Why isn`t school all about learning the stuff that so few people seem to know any more?
Violence sucks and should only be employed as needed to stop...violence. The need to resort to it indicates the failure of Reason, the Rational Faculty that makes Man special. Yes indeed, it`s wise to be competent at it ..but that doesn`t make it any less detestable.
Of course one could argue "bullying is bad"..."bullying is wrong"...We must eradicate it! Make it against the law! Start anti-bullying committees in every school! Police every child`s actions! I dunno...Guess what though? All people / kids aren`t created equal...Some are more equal than others lol.. Letting kids work it out for themselves creates character, socialization skills, and possibly even a personality. And, God forbid - the kid learns to fight and take care of himself!
I think our attempt to sterilize the schools may not be good. Somehow 30-40 years ago - we had little to none of this anti-bullying nonsense. Were our schools worse then? I don`t think so. Yeah, it may be tougher for some kids, but - guess what - not every kid gets the trophy. That`s life. You can`t whitewash / sterilize the world & it`s silly to try.. Lol; I think half the "bullying" is online now..We have the Snap Chat Bully!
And yeah, teachers broke up fights in my high school and occasionally got roughed up in the process. I went to Catholic school in the 80`s - there was no police force there. Stuff was handled in house. Imagine the thought? A school that handled its own business with its own kids? Now the police get involved if there is a fight in high school. Kids get arrested. Kinda ridiculous IMHO.
And if someone wants to stop violence in schools; the first place to start is on the football field. We should ban all high school football !!! More kids are injured / hurt / paralyzed / whatever from that I`m sure than any type of fighting or bullying in school.
For the most part, school`s been the same for hundreds of years. Now, suddenly - its all wrong and we have to fix it. Level the playing field! Stop bullying! New math! Everyone gets a trophy! Cops patrolling the hallways! I say c`mon man...Just act like a normal human being, go to school and you`ll be fine.
Prolly going to get a beat down for this - but you think I care? Men are becoming feminized. Anything traditionally related to masculinity or patriarchy has a negative slant on it these days. Why do you think it`s suddenly so hip to embrace men literally turning themselves into women???
You know how many early 20 something men could change a flat tire now a days? Change their own oil? Prolly very few! Could you when you were 20? But, they could whip out their iPhone, click an app - and have someone come to do it for them. Of course, it`s just EVIL to suggest that is feminine...Cuz you know - men and women are 100% the same - and women traditionally tinker with cars.
Men are raped in the courts as well. I`m sure we all know some guy who divorced & got completely hosed...I could go on..
