If David French Were Running for President He Wouldn’t Have Time to Warn Us about the New Cuckllenials
David French read a study about grip strength, retired to his manly fainting couch and typed (banging hard on his keyboard LIKE A MAN) this out on his manly laptop.
Yes, I know it’s only one study. Yes, I know that grip strength is but one measure of overall physical fitness. But as the Post noted, these findings are consistent with other studies showing kids are less fit today.
But none of my nerdiness relieved me of the responsibility of learning how to be a man — a protector, builder, and fixer.
In the age of instant oil change (why entrust your car’s health to your 16-year-old?), ubiquitous lawn services, and on-demand handymen, privileged kids simply don’t have the same, naturally occurring opportunities to learn to work with their hands and to develop physical strength. In the age of zero-tolerance school-disciplinary policies — where any kind of physical confrontation is treated like a human-rights violation — they have less opportunity to develop toughness. Today’s young males don’t have common touchstones for what it’s like to grow up to be a man.
Our culture strips its young men of their created purpose and then wonders why they struggle.
It wonders why men — who are built to be distinctive from women — flail in modern schools and workplaces designed from the ground-up for the feminine experience.
Totes McGoats. Workplaces today are basically just feminine hygiene commercials encased in brick and mortar. It’s ALL about the women. Just ask all the women who work at FOX news.
Also, here’s some dipshit at The Federalist who’s yammering on about boobs and male productivity.
