The underlying factor which I want to address more fully is that young males in our present day society are in a quandary of gender identity which seems to be continually stripped by political agenda. I trace this back several decades beyond the unisex movements and I hope other of you exert some energy to address this un-obvious underlying problem within the sexual revolution. These incidences are the ramifications of such. Are we trying to contort human nature? Can the lion become a lioness? I know to some this is male chauvinist pig mentality, which I gladly accept, but also I clearly state: If the queen had the balls she'd be King! I can say for sure that when I go away for two weeks and leave the house in charge of my wife and daughter, during my absence and upon my return there are a host of ridiculous calamities and disasters that would not occur with my presence, but by law I must allow this ineptness and idiocy to take place. This is not to downplay their academic achievements, which are impressive, but it is just the ....... (fill in the blank).
