The crude humor, the booze/drug/sex antics, the crazy debt, lack of responsibility, obsession with 'cool', and generally immature behavior--all of it points to a state of arrested development that has a firm grip on males in this country, and it makes me very, very sad. Young men are mookish caricatures of what the should be, of what the realities of life demand. Gentlemen, grow up.
Finally someone gets it right.

Dave, that article rocks. Thanks for sharing! I just assigned it to all my classes.
if YOU think it's sad, just imagine how the women feel...
Sorry, but this blog is completely unoriginal and poorly written! Amateurs...
Nice comment. I hope you made an informed decision after reviewing all the material on the blog, not just the stuff of the front page.
You've got to love the anonimity of the Internet.
Michael Kimmel has a great book called 'On Becoming Male' that highlights a lot of this epidemic. Also, I'd recommend searching on Google Video for the video entitled 'Tough Guise'. It's pretty enlightening.
