I was being facetious.
There are currently several threads where feminism is being blamed for all of the ills of our culture.

It's the great power of the Ovaries.

We caused original sin, all the ills in the world and will continue to destroy the world by just having a vagina.

Funny how I don't feel more powerful...

where" it? Do you mean "wear" it. If not, "where" is it?

Could it be possible that there isn't anything "happening" to our youth, but rather the media is hyping up by extrapolating isolated incidents and try to make them fit for all youth? Nostalgia likes to hide the ugly parts of the past.

I feel that as people get older, they always complain about the kids today...without taking a critical eye on their past.

I know what's wrong with those kids. They are plain sick in their minds without little or no compassion nor empathy leading to psychopathic behaviors.
It's easy for someone to blame it on parental discipline, lack or morals/values taught at an early age, violent movies or video games or lack of a parent figure (mainly a father) but in the end, the child is sick.
What about violent movies? I seen horror movies starting at age 7 and even so, I knew how to differentiate real life vs. movie. What video games? I played a zombie video game as a child and later on at age 12 and no where did I ever thought about setting someone on fire nor stabbing anymore.
How about the Michael Hernandez case who stabbed to death his classmate at a bathroom stall when he was 14? He had both parents and an older sister. It was a well brought up family with wealthy parents and the sister went to college but yet, he still committed the crime.

Yep. My great aunt got pregnant in the early 50s as a young teen, and was sent away to a 'relatives' house for a couple of months. Nobody spoke of that child until recently, and nobody has any idea what sex it was or where it is today. There were just different ways of dealing with 'youth issues' back then as opposed to today.

Interesting. I thought the Christian right always claim the majority of America is Christian? I suppose you're trying to say it's the minority that are dragging the majority down, right?
