Every time they go to commercial , I have to listen to these little twats speak at fourty words per second . Welcome to my hell . <| sep |>. then I criticise that this change happens too late . Ah , OK , you ' re specifically talking about 18 . Got it now . With this theoretical thinking it doesn ' t even matter that I can ' t come up with a suggestion of what society should do exactlyIt ' s like a simple formula Society provides something at age 18 that makes boys become attractive . Why shouldn ' t society be able to provide something similar at age 15 ? Why shouldn ' t society do this ? I don ' t know . I don ' t necessarily think society should or shouldn ' t do anything here . That ' s a discussion on its own . What do you think ? And if you think it should do something , what are your thoughts on the details ? To what extent is ' something happens between 18 and 20 that turns boys into men ' societal and to what extent is it naturalbiological etc . ? See my post re the highschool boys . That definitely seemed spontaneousnot led or caused by factors outside of those guys themselves and the natural process of growing up . But I ' m definitely open on this , everything I ' m saying is just kinda my first reactions to this stuff . There is a lot of discussion about how children fail at school , rising crime rate , equal opportunity and so on . But when does a lot of our boys don ' t lose the virginwalk until they go to college . A lot of our boys are sad and lonely and can ' t find relationships EVER come up in the media or in discussions about how we are failing our children . Tbh I don ' t think the idea that very young men aren ' t getting laid is ever going to be something that wider society would perceive as a problem not the way they perceive academic failure or criminality as problems , for example . And I ' m not saying this is right , I ' m just saying I honestly think you ' d have a hard time even getting people to care about this , including grown men . A lot of adults just seem to see horny , virginal teenage boys as a completely normal thing and one that they ' ll eventually grow out of . You ' ll see plenty of addressing problems our girls face in their romantic life . Society has slutshaming on the radar . And consent education . Yes , and this is one reason why i think getting society to care about unfucked teenaged boys is going to be extremely difficultimpossible . Teenage girls are seen as vulnerable in the context of sexuality teenage boys are not seen as vulnerable in that same way . This relates to how we see females vs males in general . Women as vulnerable to predatory male sexuality , males as embodiments of predatory male sexuality . The stereotype of adolescent males as sexcrazed bags of testosterone is part of this . And tbh I think there ' s some truth in those stereotypes . What do you think ? Do you think it ' s realistic that people would ever see the vulnerability of a teenage girl to rape as on par in terms of seriousness with the sexual thirst of a teenage boy ? I just don ' t see that happening . And please understand , I ' m not saying this is ' right ' or how it should be or that lonely , inexperienced teenage boys don ' t matter or that their pain doesn ' t matter . I ' m saying i think you ' d have an extremely hard time convincing wider society that it matters more than the specifically sexual vulnerability of teenage girls . If anything is to be done about this I think it ' s going to have to come from men themselves . I ' ve actually thought this for awhile re the MRA movement , which has badly failed , imo . Feminists didn ' t start the work of feminism with a supportive society at their back . And men working within a society to have the issues of men and boys taken seriously do not currently have a totally supportive society at their back either . But boys are vulnerable , in boyways . I wonder if anything will crop up ? Anything more than ' society should do something about this ! ', I mean . And I wonder what it would look like if it did . As of right now , I think parenting is probably the place where the most impact could be made . Boys being raised with no thought to their masculinity seem , currently , to be worse off than the girls raised with little thought to their femininity . Is that because a 17 y . o . girl just is feminine , even if she intends to go to college and become a doctor and have an awesome career and no kids ? And a 17 y . o . boy is not necessarily masculine , even with the fact of his maleness ? There ' s something to that . There ' s something to the idea that masculinity is not naturally conferred upon men the way it is upon women i . e . simply through being biologically female ? This ties in with your thoughts on rituals etc . an idea I have long been fascinated with . A lot of the old tests and procedures by which a man becomes a boy are now gone or downgraded to frathouse hazing antics . What ' s to be done about that ? We can ' t turn back time , we can ' t make it so our teenage boys all go off to war at 17 , or down the mines to financially provide for their dependent wives children at 24 . I think masculinity itself is as attractive as it ever was to women maybe even moreso now , but that it ' s less useful in the modern world , less incentivized outside of sexual attraction . So what ' s to be done ? How are boys to be raised to be masculine ? I don ' t know . But I do think it ' s an issue . Look at all these neurotic , anxious teenage boys on social media and online , quivering under the weight of expectations they know they don ' t meet . How can they be helped ? What do you think ?
