Yep, that's what I said. It's really hell on young men these days. Seems like we're turning into a country of Old Folks. Young black men...they're scary, pitch em in a jail. Young white men...they're sick. Better give em some psychoadjustment pill.
20% of all black men under 25 have been incarcerated
The leading cause of death for young black men,, murder
The leading cause of death for young white men,, dumb accidents.
There's this lady by the name of Christina Hoff Sommers that wrote a book called "The War on Boys." I have not read it yet.
However, I have observed first hand how rabid, anti-male bigots, calling themselves "feminists", have piled into the educational establishment, with a private agenda which is every bit as hateful as that of a pack of "Nazi skinheads." People like the late Betty Friedan, Naomi Wolf, and Rita Mae Brown, true advocates for the rights of women, were drowned out. As happens so often, by an academic sheep herd.
Ha, ha! Never did, but I used to work there. Berkeley, I mean.
Naomi Wolf went to school there, she talks about how sad it makes her that those freakazoids took over the movement for gender equality. She's from San Francisco.
Anger clouds the mind. One day, those Women's Studies types are gonna wake up and realize they got used like a handy-dandy potato peeler.

Get a grip, senior citizens of all ages.
As I said in another thread, the Boomers made a hard right turn and became more repressive and more uptight than their parents were. Few would have predicted in the 1960s that the most influential political legacy of the Baby Boom would be Neoconservatism.

They started to have a little money. Heh.
One of the reasons that we have this crappy situation now is the sheer numbers of boomers now entering middle, and old, age. I call it the Demographic Blob. Just as the youth culture inspired people who should have been old enough to know better to go messing around on their wives with girls half their age, the middle age culture is now inspiring people who should be young enough to know better...with fear. Fear of disease, fear of death, the fear that snuffs out life itself. It's a situation out of balance.

I saw some 18 year old kid in the health food store the other day. He's buying "colon cleanser."
Now, I don't know him from Adam. But I feel like yelling, KID, you're too YOUNG to be worrying about yer dern COLON, go buy some CONDOMS instead! Leave the COLON CLEANSER for old *******s like ME.
