America is awash in overmothered men

A bad father is better than no father. Yes, we have to draw the line at drunk and abusive fathers but studies prove that a poor father is better than none

You can hear it in pitch of voice and accent. Young men (?) are awash in that mewling, lisping delivery that sounds like a gay stereotype. Yet it's exactly the way they speak.

Toxic femininity.

Omg talk about hitting the nail on the head! My wife thinks it's fine for adult children to live with mommy and daddy well into their 30's because her sister does. I said no way! When oldest was a year old we bought house next door so he wouldn't be. He's 25 now. ( I remember he was just learning to walk holding his hand to go over and paint). Year later bought another house, for 2nd on the way. Year later bought a third. We live on cape cod not easy to make living, expensive housing. 2nd son special needs, wife wants him in group home. I say teach him how to keep house clean with a routine and he will do alright. He will be moving into 3rd house later this year after I finish renovating from nasty tenant. I did cub scouts boy scouts 12 years so I'd be the tree in forest, older a marine, younger an eagle scout. Has it been easy no way but I never had to bail them put of jail. After big fight with wife, i storm out, yelling I'm leaving, younger runs after me, Daddy daddy if you leave who will do cub scouts with me? Puts it in perspective doesn't it!

I’ve seen it in my own extended family - an overbearing sister in law with an extremely passive husband who was there in body but not in any way involved with raising his son. Mom wouldn’t let her son play outside of their own yard and took him shopping with her instead of letting him play sports or play with other boys. By the time he was 10 he knew more about women’s cosmetics than most women do. And guess what? You’ll be shocked. He’s gay. These days he likes to post photos of himself in drag on Fakebook.

I will go one further, I think there is a direct correlation between single parents and the rise of homosexuality and transgenderism, as both are signs of boys never learning how to be men and girls never learning how to be women. Humans are a pack orientated like wolves and lions, males of the species are supposed to be the alphas and females betas but that has been flipped on its side. What we are seeing today predominantly on the Left side of the spectrum is exactly what would happen if you were to take a wolf pack and make the female the alpha, the strong males would be run off or killed to prevent challenges leaving only the weakest and most subservient males to breed that is spawning generations of feeble gender confused offspring who's instinct is telling them one thing while the pack structure is enforcing another. This with everything else wrong in western civilization can be laid at the feet of progressive liberalism, and ultimately at the feet of women, it was women voting that got us the great society legislation's, that gave us the welfare state that broke the family structure, and gave rise to feminism begetting the single parent home.

Feminists have been screeching for decades that only women can role model young girls. Ok, so what about boys? It’s funny how they demand all the attention, that it is women’s time to shine, single mothers rock, a women can do a father’s job, she’s a hero for doing so and then in their late thirties can’t figure out why there are no decent men around.

I have said this for the last couple of decades. I’ve observed a disturbing relationship between single mothers (by choice) and their sons. It’s as if the son becomes the substitute best friend/husband/partner of the mother. The mother looks to the son to fulfill her emotional needs, which is something that a young child should never be asked to do for a parent. It’s too big of a job for a child, and can lead to the child feeling like they have to parent the parent. It is a completely inappropriate burden to place on a child, and one that they will have a hard time overcoming later in life.

With possible exception of JFK every democrat president since Grover Cleveland was a momma’s boy.

We live in an era of sanctified single motherhood...another class of manufactured heroine. Whether ever married or not, we should always honor the single mother. She may have to raise one child or several, but she loves them...it's not her fault. It's always the sperm donor's. One wonders what the longer-term future holds for "men" in developed nations.

We are defined by our politics.

And our politics are defined by our spiritual views (or lack of them).

My X never let go of Mother's apron strings. He expected me to be just like her. I was never perfect enough. (I'm alone now but not lonely. I was lonely when I was married,)

Not having a REAL man in the house is , in many cases, a disaster. When I go to a supermarket now, I have seen females yelling at other shoppers to 'stay away'. It happened to me the other day, even though the cause was the female shopper herself, who turned around in an aisle and passed me. They are emotional and panicky. The males just go about their shopping and pay little attention to their surroundings. Even in the parking lots, the men are chatting with one another, while the females run to their vehicles. Carry this personality difference to our Governors: which ones have insane restrictions and which ones are trying to open their States. The female gov. of Oregon just announced the lockdown in the State will stay in effect until July 6, even though the state has the 4th least virus problem. Females overcompensate in an attempt to be more manly than the men. In a home setting , they treat a young male child like their buddy, not the child it is who needs a real parent. Enough said.

Man buns and bow-ties... There could be a song in that. It seems like so many of those young men mentioned in the article spent far too much time indoors. Either in day care, as the mother worked, or as a latch-key child who was prohibited from going outside until mommy came home, and maybe not much then. They have been raised on computer games, social media and all things digital. Their behavior was excused a lot, due to guilt on the part of the mother. When these kids have to go out into the world and face well adjusted people, they don't know how to conduct themselves. They become introverts and develop all kinds of social disorders, including anger. No, I'm not a psychologist, did not stay at Hotel 8, but I listened to a real psychiatrist who has studied these kids in a clinical situation.

Be cautious of painting with too wide a brush. I think that boys will be just fine so long as the mothers in their lives allow them to be boys and there are men in their lives.

Strongly disagree with the comment about poor fathers. Poor fathers can pass along poor impressions to their kids about what men should be, and what kind of husband a daughter should look for. When you grow up with poor fathering, the influences a child grows in is going to produce many problems. Gamma fathers who allow wives to rule the roost create some of the most toxic behaviors in their kids. My own opinion is that many people who are parents currently should never have become parents in the first place. It takes a great deal of strong parenting to produce a productive adult and leader for our nation. So many people get bored with the efforts required for marriage and parenthood they abandon their posts. That is one of the true shames of our society, that we have turned personal responsibility and marriage into discardable throwaways. I wish I could vote multiple times for a couple of these comments. Good and right on target. I disagree with the idea that moms make soybois. That is on the media/PETA , pushing the vegetarian narrative in our faces. Feminists are the worst thing to hit our culture ever. They are destructive to males in any way possible, they are also destructive to girls as well. The idea that girls do not need a father, that all you need are other females is ridiculous on its face. Girls need a male influence, in big part to save them from choosing poorly when it comes to their relationships. I also have to wonder if a big part of the homosexual community is indeed some kind of response to their hatred of mom and women in general. Take a look at the ones who do drag. Those are not women, those are their worst nightmares regarding their bad experiences with women coming to life.

And that's why today, each of the two major parties is the home of the respective results of such a social phenomenon. Namelly, the Democrats are the Mommy/Nanny Party, and the Republicans are the Dad Party. The distinctions are no longer just economic ideology. The Democrats are essentially the people who either hated their fathers (Daddy issues at a minimum) or never had one. Essentially leaving them with a surplus of bitter, manly women or feminized/female-controlled men. Think Hillary, Gretchen, Gavin. And that's why this lockdown is the most repressive and most senseless (until you recognize the real origin) in those states that have a Gretchen or a Gavin in charge. It's because they finally have a chance to show Daddy who's really the boss now.

#6, along with the 16/17th amendments, the 19th was a very bad decision on the part of our ancestors. And it men were the horrors that the commie/feminazis back then claimed, how'd they ever get the amendment passed? There have been studies examining political ads since that time - they started appealing to emotion rather than reason. I think there's a correlation. Just look at the results within Western Civilization.

Girly men...where are the young people who stormed the beaches at Normandy or the Pacific Islands? Now they cower in their mommies basements and whine about everything...or run around undressed like side show freaks with their BDSM clothing...promoting the 'gay' lifestyle....

My Dad was a brilliant man with a IQ above 170. That said, he was also a less than perfect Dad. It took him until way past my 30th birthday before I ever heard him say "I love you" to my Mom or Brother, and not until I was in my forties before I heard him say that directly to me. That aside, I learned a lot about being a Dad. I promised that when I married and had children, I would always tell them every day, and every time I saw them that "I love you!" no mater what. I would go out of my way to give my kids and wife a hug, for no reason at all. I got that from my Sicilian Mom. Even though I saw my Dad as a very strong person, but not a loving person, I was always amazed at when my Dad could do when he decided to do something he had never done. And I am blessed that I did get the best parts of my Mom's DNA and the same for my Dad's DNA. So having a Dad that may not tell you that they love you or anyone for that mater, but he was there, we had very strong cast in concrete rules. Todays kid have none. But he was there to show me how to be a Dad, in in some cases how not to be a Dad. And even thought he was an a** at times, deep down I knew he kind of loved me, my brother and Mom. MSgt USAF (ret)

Like Arnold said. Girly Boys (That sniff the furniture to see if itś safe to sit on)

My Dad was a brilliant man, but he could be cruel, in one way or another to all of us, finally leaving when the youngest was 7, when my brothers were of an age when they needed the strong, steady presence of their father. Fortunately, our Mother let the boys be boys. Both brothers have raised awesome sons, my wonderful nephews, strong, smart, caring. My nieces are awesome, too! I am hugely blessed. As women, our impulse is to protect, but we have to resist the tendency to smother, which is not the same thing as tenderness or caring or compassion. Falling down, skinning knees, getting stitches along the eyebrow, among the hazards of life, make stronger and independent, thinking and actually compassionate adults.

Well, #3 said it. Toxic femininity. It has done a fair amount of damage in my family. Yep, its alive and well even in rural ranching families.

Yeah, I live next door to a mama's boy. He thinks I don't know about his gay friend because his wife doesn't. The gov rewards women for not getting married. It's a cottage industry and the 'fiancee" formerly baby daddy is just passing thru. No commitment to this batch of kids. Still with the belief that three things changed this country forever: They stopped the draft Took prayer out of schools Women went to work.
