Today's Feminist society subjects boys to its dysfunctional view of masculinity. Even though males are naturally smarter, stronger, faster, more capable and more competent than women (as history and common sense prove), it's still considered heresy to even think, let alone voice such obvious gender differences. Instead, boys must endure a constant verbal and visual assault on their innate capability and gender identity.



While Feminism encourages plain-looking girls with age-old sentiments like, beauty is only skin deep, it exercises little conscience when vilifying young boys for sport. Accusations of small penis size, mommy issues, and violent tendencies are all fair game for Feminism's systematic mockery of masculinity.

Mainstream media portrays men as incompetent, sexually depraved fools, desperately seeking the approval of women. Sitcoms and other television shows condition impressionable boys to consider this a normal experience for males. Being outwitted and outperformed by females becomes an expectation.

Years of poor social conditioning under Feminism have reduced these men to a conglomeration of conflicting rules, unrealistic ideals, and unhealthy, unattractive social behaviors. Treating women with respect, obeying them at any cost and expecting Disney movie results prove to be ineffective dating strategies.

Being themselves doesn't solve what society's already done to damage their identity. Lacking competent mentors or a guiding vision of what constitutes proper masculine expression, our culture has molded these men into the impotent Nice Guy model. They perpetually waste their time, money, effort, and attention on females who never reciprocate. This earns them the best friend label while their romantic interests go ignored. Girls claim to love their behavior but never view these types of men in a sexual context.

Emasculated males grow up to become role models to future generations of unsuspecting boys. They use their positions of social and economic influence to foster the cycle of emasculation. In Steve Harvey's best-selling book Act Like a
