Wow, what an interesting discussion on G&&&&&ys this has turned into.
Money, your experience is much too limited to draw any conclusion from. Bowlslit brings up valid points that are relative from a "generational" point of view. For example, no one knows the relationship between the family structure and the numerous divorces in today's age (i.e. the mom is the dominant figure in more kid's daily life), and the person learning "lifes" experiences are taking cues from "mom" .
In summary , a boy needs a dad to kick his A$$ while he is trying to learn life.
Does this mean physical abuse ??? No, but it doesn't mean coddling by an overprotective mom shapes boys to become the next men. Capiche ?
I think the points that Bowlslit brings up make sense from a "generation" point of view. Forget your life experiences for a moment.

I also treat everyone with respect unless they do something to un-earn that respect.
I also don't think the government should be dolling out protection to every Tom, Richard, and Harry.
I don't get excited about ugly women, and there are likely many more like me.
Should the government protect the convenient store owner that employed the ugly chick that refused to sell me my Mt. Dew after I refused her advances?
Should we make an activist group for "FIVES AND OVER"?
Or should I just find a different convenient store that only hires dudes and FIVES or over?
Was I born with my attraction limits or did my environment lead to them?
Regarding offering special protections to " every Tom, Richard and Harry " , I got to observe a fun discussion at a recent bar association meeting where yet another group was seeking to be added to the ever-growing list of people or groups who this association was willing to declare they would not discriminate against. The list already included race, color, national origin, age, disability, sex, gender identity, religion, national origin and on and on. An African-American member observed that if everyone was to be included, the list would be so diluted as to be meaningless. At that point, another member suggested that the non-discrimination statement could be greatly shortened if the bar association simply acknowledged that " we don't discriminate against anyone except white males. "
