White House Family Values: Where Are the Boys?

Article here. Excerpt:

"...In the 80 years before the Obama administration, only the Kennedys brought a boy into the White House.
...
So why no modern manlings in the east wing? I have a theory, born of careful historical analysis and solipsism: It's impossible to be elected to the White House if you have young sons, because that would mean you have to campaign with them.
...
The Obama campaign was noted for its discipline, its rigor and its self control: three things most young boys are not noted for."

This is another example of boy-bashing. Having girls are described as an "asset" which means having boys is a liability. The author has only good things to say about girls and nothing good to say about boys. She is obviously irritated that past US presidents ever had boys, and somehow more recent presidents not having male children is somehow an improvement.

It's also interesting that this person says boys are not noted for having discipline or self-control. Boys are taught discipline and self-control, and girls are not expected to have either, especially with regards to control over her emotions. Boys and men are taught and expected to exercise self-control, but a girl or woman is expected to have her every whim catered to without any self restraint, self control or discipline on her part.

Imagine the uproar if a journalist wrote something less than exalting about female children. Males are fair game for any derision.
