#19  Dr. Strangelove or: How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb is a must see, Mike. George C. Scott, Peter Sellers in multiple roles, Slim Pickens, Keenan Wynn, Sterling Hayden. It's a manly movie. Even if they are all a little nuts. As an irrational, right-wing zealot, you'll fit right in. "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the war room."

#18  No. I keep thinking I should though. And now I presume I missed a reference to it.

#14  For the douche above attempting to infer that I'm an irrational, right-wing zealot.

Suck on these nuts.

#13  "Meanwhile, there's estrogen in our friggin water supply"

Yes, it is a well-known Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

#12  My name is Bill and I'm a headcase
They practice making up on my face
Yeah, I feel lucky if I get trousers to wear
Spend ages taking hairpins from my hair

I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am I get it

Put your frock on Jean Marie
Plait your hair Felicity
Paint your nails, little Sally Joy
Put this wig on, little boy

I wanna play cricket on the green
Ride my bike across the street
Cut myself and see my blood
I wanna come home all covered in mud

---- schools no longer as willing to let kids be kids, and especially not boys be boys, then wonder why they have too much energy to pay attention in class. I tend to think of it as foot binding for the childrens' psyche.

#11  #9 Meanwhile, there's estrogen in our friggin water supply Posted by Mike N.

Well now, little wonder all I want to do is sit around and bitch. It's back to the Glenlivets for me. Never should have left it.

#9  Meanwhile, there's estrogen in our friggin water supply and the FDA is moving as quickly as they can to ban every substance that comes along if it so much as could be androgenic.

#8  And don't forget the youth NRA programs.

I was never so proud as the day when the Middle School principal called me to say my son brought in empty 30-06 brass. (He loves his M1, what can I say?)

#7  Homeschool, Boy Scouts and an archery range in the back yard work well for us. Let the boys be boys.

#6  Agred to all the above comments, from (ideologically-motivated) wussification to hormonal pollution. Beyond the "funny" side, this is actually dead serious.

BUT, Science! has found a way out of this death-spiral.

So, now, half of my own problems are going to be fixed, there are just those man-boobs left to deal with.

#5  When my Grandson was 5 and in pre-school they had a Visitors Day. He wanted me to visit so I did. The first thing I noticed was that all the toys were feminine oriented. Nothin considered boys' toys like trucks, balls, building blocks, no boys' reading material at all. I asked the director why and she said, "We are teaching the boys to be more caring". I told her they were teaching them to be girls and was asked to leave.

#4  Two-year-old children are being exposed to dangerous levels of hormone-disrupting chemicals in domestic products such as rubber clogs and sun creams,

Why in the blazes are boys wearing clogs? Damn it, when I was two I was already into hard leather Hopalong Cassidy boots or soft leather Davy Crocket moccasins. I blame PETA.

#3  I wonder how long this has been known. I wonder how much attention it is getting. I wonder how long it will take to do something about it. I wonder how inadequate it will be. I wonder if they will be testing Chinese foreign products for compliance.

#2  Probably because there are entirely too many boys. We (western civilization) used to kill off a half a generation or so of males in combat until the 1950's or so.

I don't believe the human race has ever had such a huge number of males as it does now.

#1  Wussifation 101. This has been part of public school system since "The New Math". We don't need smart folks in white coats to tell us that.
