“School has changed in ways that favor girls, and work has changed in ways that favor women. Boys are often seen as troublemakers, and men have heard that masculinity is ‘toxic.'”<\/p>\n

“Schools have become hostile to boys, forcing them to act, think, and learn in ways that are antithetical to their nature. For one, the nature of boys to be more fidgety and playful is now viewed as a disease requiring medication or at least some type of intervention to stop them from being who they are.”<\/p>\n

“Boys are naturally impulsive, risk-taking, and physical in their behavior.”<\/p>\n

“By most measures, the well-being of boys has been declining for quite a while. Educational achievement has been going down, suicide is on the rise, and men are less likely to enter the workforce and rise up the ladder than in the past.”<\/p>\n

“The rising rejection of feminism among young men is almost certainly linked to growing feelings that American society has become more hostile to men. In 2019, less than one-third of young men reported that men experienced some or a lot of discrimination in American society. Only four years later, close to half (45 percent) of young men now believe men are facing gender-based discrimination. For some young men, feminism has morphed from a commitment to gender equality to an ideology aimed at punishing men.”<\/p>\n

“The glory of young men is their strength, and the honor of old men is their gray hair<\/em>” (Proverbs 20:29).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
