Kathleen Parker: Bring the Boys Along

Article here Excerpt:

'With a flick of his pen, President Obama finally laid to rest Freud's most famous question and iterated one of man's hardest-learned lessons: Women want what women want.

And the wise man sayeth: "Yes, dear."

Thus it came to pass that the president created the White House Council on Women and Girls to ensure that all Cabinet-level agencies consider how their policies affect women and families. Presumably, men and boys may expect to benefit from what is helpful to women and girls. We shall see.
...
Where's the White House Council on Men and Boys? Okay, let men fend for themselves. But boys really do need our attention, not only for themselves but also for the girls who will be their wives (we hope) someday. We do still hope that boys and girls grow up to marry, don't we? Preferably before procreating?

Boys, meanwhile, are the ones dropping out of school or being expelled. They're the ones failing, abusing drugs and committing suicide. What kind of men do we expect them to become, assuming they survive?'

Kathleen Parker conveniently misses the point here.There are no long term benefits for men and boys in any pipeline.
What this council means is that there probably never will be--period.Nearly every department is to given over to scrutiny by this female led council which will consider only if every new initiative put forward by said department
is fair to females,not whether it is "neutral" but how it advantages females.Seeing as to how this council is feminist
and given feminist herstory,who do you think will win the battle of wills?There will be no help for men and boys in any conceivable sense.That is why there is no council for men and boys,a clash of cultures would be certain.
In the UK we have a minister for women and at least 5 or 6 active feminists ensuring female superiority-for men,nobody,not even other men,they have been scared off and Tv makes sure men never forget their inferiority.

if she really cared about the future of boys, she would be telling them to avoid marriage and give up any idea of starting a family.

And Kathleen Parker is a dissident feminist (woman firster). Basically the dissident feminists place men's needs second in society while the ideological feminists (feminists like NOW) don't place men's needs anywhere -- if we faded from existance it wouldn't be fast enough.

Some groups of women are starting to realize that once men fall, they're next.
