Hey F, whats up
**[quote=“Falstaff, post:40, topic:152491”]**
I think you make some good points there @TradeViper. Do you think the raise in the past few generations of state sponsored divorce, means that parents are less likely now to “work together” towards bringing their kids up with a stable and loving home life ?
Well, here in the states, there was a famous quote, “as long as there is an able bodied man in the household, they will get nothing”. So if this rumored quote is accurate and is part of the “welfare law” that you get less if you are married, basically, it is a marriage penalty, also here in the US there used to be a marriage penalty for taxes. I don’t think the tax penalty was much of a issue when it was part of the tax code. But that welfare penalty, no doubt contributes to the lack of marriage, and explosion of single mothers.
As far as state sponsored divorce, not so much in the South, with coasties, yeah, maybe the same as across the pond.
How many kids (especially with reference to boys) do not have a strong male role model nowadays, to teach them “how to become men” ?

That is certainly what boys have been taught over the generations to aim for - whether it is “instinctive” behaviour I’m less sure - but boys of our generation were certainly taught to be “rescuers” (See drama triangle) whilst girls were taught to “play” victim to the male role and let their “husbands” look after and protect them. This by and large is what we have endeavoured to teach our own kids. (My opinion only)

The instinctive part basically has to do with two things, the way boys and girls brains are wired, also the difference between estrogen and testosterone. It is very clear that testosterone makes for agressivity, and physical power, (read this as big muscles), and estrogen makes for less muscle mass and a focus on nurturing. Obviously the Brain had to be equipped to handle the specific differences found in either case. Now I am talking Pure Biology, not deviations from the norm.
I.E. No matter how many steroids a woman takes she could never be as big as Arnold or Mentzer, and no matter how much estrogen a man takes they will never look like Sophia or Audrey. The base biology prevents this from happening. From the skeletal structure to folial cells, everything is put together to function harmoniously, at a statistical baseline. As I said I am not talking genetic outliers, But a Statistical Baseline. Just by the biology one can see what each side is best at, again statistical baseline.
Now does that mean a man cannot be nurturing, no. But when the boyfriend dumps the daughter, or cheats on the daughter in high school, what is dads reaction, and what is mom’s. Dad wants to tie the ex to an ant hill and pour honey over him, and mom says lets talk about this.
Dad should be able to tell his kids I love you, and mom should be able to say “no” to the 13 yr old daughter who wants an Ozzie Tattoo, unless of course Mom already has one.
There should always be some crossover for balance, but biology and genetic inheritance do play a large part.
As far as victim-hood, here in the US it depends on the region you are from. In the big coastal cities, yes women generally portray themselves as victims. But in the south it is a bit different, while southern women tend to portray a demure, and genteel exterior, well I leave you with this.
Ignore the I phone X commercial.
Now don’t get me started on Hispanic Women, especially Cuban’s, “oh hi dear, no, just readin on Babypips, yeah OK I’ll take the garbage out, weewww, that was close”.

Now we perhaps should consider the effects of the “divorce” situation. Now instead of looking to their husbands to “protect them” the newly adult girls are tending to look to “solicitors” to use the law to protect them FROM their “husbands”. I know a few divorce solicitors and wthout fail they relish acting for the woman - because it is so easy to win. Whereas none of them really like acting for the male as the best they can do is a meagre “damage limitation excercise”.

Then as well there is the unnatural situation where men are NOT required to go to war on behalf of their “queen and country” to be killed or to kill. That situation has not existed as far as I know in the whole history of the human race ! Nowadays any physical “altercation” at all, is demonised and the Social Justice Warriors even take outrage and umbrage at the sligghtest perceived “Rudeness” ! Yet for thousands of years men have been trained and indoctrinated to be warlike and as you say “Protective” of their own families.

Well I grew up during the Vietnam war, when I was about 8 yrs old I asked my Opa why were the troops there, he said, “who the H— knows” I was surprised by the “profanity”, and he was a patriot, who really believed in the US and military. So with the subsequent military actions, this kind of dampened the desire for warfare. As for as physical altercation, yeah you are right about that, especially Across the Pond and Europe.

Male suicide and rapidly dropping sperm counts may be related symptoms of this dissonance of instruction and lack of comprehension by males (AND females - AND “Professionals” in the field ! )
[/quote]
I think that the sperm count thing is like global climate change, a lot of statistics, but no one really looks at where the data comes from, and how reliable it is. By the way, here in the south, white southerners are still having loads of kids, so I am not so sure of the data on the sperm deal.
Male suicide, now that is different, yup it is in general society, societies view of men, and lack of mental health care.

I did not really appreciate the interviewer’s hostility towards the interviewee though. 
I feel like we could have squeezed out more information if she wasn’t always trying to pounce back. 
I thought it was an improvement on their behavior. But listening to Peterson say that children would then find other means to hurt other people, I also realized the really lasting impact of gossips and harsh words towards others.
